“A superficial observer knows that the best things in life are hard to attain. … The fact is, the more alluring an end we have in view, the more risks and horrors we must undertake to get there. May we not also make a contrary suggestion: that behind every danger something good is hidden, and that therefore danger serves as an indication, a mark to guide us onwards, not as a warning, as we are taught to believe.”
– Lev Shestov, All Things Are Possible
