Memory and hope constantly incite us to the extensions of the self which play so large a part in our daily life.
Josiah RoyceThe unique eludes us; yet we remain faithful to the ideal of it; and in spite of sense and of our merely abstract thinking, it becomes for us the most real thing in the actual world, although for us it is the elusive goal of an infinite quest.
