"What those old Greeks, whom one must credit with a little knowledge of philosophy, took to be the task of a whole lifetime, doubt not being a skill one acquires in days and weeks; what the old veteran warrior achieved after keeping the balance of doubt in the face of all inveiglements, fearlessly rejecting of sense and thought, incorruptibly defying self anxieties and the wheedling of sympathies - that is where nowadays everyone begins."- Soren Kierkegaard.
