“That the world is not the embodiment of an eternal rationality can be conclusively proved by the fact that the piece of the world that we knowI mean our human reasonis not so very rational. And if it is not eternally and completely wise and rational, then the rest of the world will not be either; here the conclusion a minori ad majus, a parte ad totum applies, and does so with decisive force.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“Celestial Cupid her famd son advanct,
Holds his dear Psyche sweet intranct
After her wandring labours long,
Till free consent the gods among
Make her his eternal Bride,
And from her fair unspotted side
Two blissful twins are to be born,
Youth and Joy; so Jove hath sworn,”
—John Milton (16081674)
