" 'Man liveth not by Self alone but in his brother's face. ... Each shall behold the Eternal Father and love and joy abound.' When the preachers of dread tell tou that others only distract you from metaphysical freedom then you must turn away from them. The real and essencial question is one of our employment by other human beings and their employment by us. Without this true employment you never dread death, you cultivate it. And consciousness when it doesn't clearly understand what to live for, what to die for, can only abuse and ridicule itself." (272-3)
Saul Bellow, Herzog.
