When Reality Becomes Unbearable, The Mind Must Withdraw From It And Create A World Of Artificial Perfection. Plato's World Of Pure Ideas And Forms, Which Alone Is To Be Considered As Real, Whereas The World Of Nature Which We Perceive Is Merely Its Cheap Woolworth Copy, Is A Flight Into Delusion.

Man's Destiny Was No Longer Determined From 'above' By A Super-human Wisdom And Will, But From 'below' By The Sub-human Agencies Of Glands, Genes, Atoms, Or Waves Of Probability. ...they Could Determine His Fate, But Could Provide Him With No Moral Guidance, No Values And Meaning. A Puppet Of The Gods Is A Tragic Figure, A Puppet Suspended On His Chromosomes Is Merely Grotesque.
