Modern Existentialism... is a total European creation, perhaps the last philosophic legacy of Europe to America or whatever other civilization is now on its way to supplant Europe  (William Barrett Quotes) The happiness of mankind, if it ever should come to pass, would still leave men asking: Why? What point to it? To what end?  (William Barrett Quotes) Even if there were no ear for them but the void, our prayers would still be the only things that sanctify our existence.  (William Barrett Quotes) The philosopher cannot seriously put to himself questions that his civilization has not lived  (William Barrett Quotes) It is the familiar that usually eludes us in life. What is before our nose is what we see last  (William Barrett Quotes) From what deep springs of character our personal philosophies issue, we cannot be sure.

Or are these beliefs the means by which we freely create ourselves as the persons we become? Here, at the very outset, the question of freedom already hovers in the background  (William Barrett Quotes) The bond that attaches us to the life outside ourselves is the same bond that holds us to our own life  (William Barrett Quotes) We must be free for the truth; and conversely, to be able to be open toward the truth may be our deepest freedom as human creatures  (William Barrett Quotes) To discover one’s own spiritual poverty is to achieve a positive conquest by the spirit  (William Barrett Quotes)
