About Us

Near the end of his life, Mark Twain wisely said, "I have had a great many troubles, but most of them never happened." |

"The man with the clear head is the man who frees himself from fantastic "ideas" and looks life in the face ... realizes that everything in it is problematic, and feels himself lost. And this is the simple truth - that to live, is to feel oneself lost - he who accepts it has already begun to find himself, to be on firm ground. Instinctively, as do the shipwrecked, he will look round for something to which to cling, and that tragic, ruthless glance, absolutely sincere because it is a question of his salvation, will cause him to bring order into the chaos of his life. These are the only genuine ideas; the ideas of the shipwrecked. All the rest is rhetoric, posturing, farce. He who does not really feel himself lost, is without remission; that is to say, he never finds himself, never comes up against his own reality."
