“Existential psychology has shown the depth of the human need to matter, make a difference, and feel a significant purpose in this world. We all need to feel that we do something that matters within the frame of reference that defines our experiential world. The question is, what is this frame of reference?”
Carlo Strenger, The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the Twenty-First Century

“One of my most deeply held assumptions about human life is that without freedom of thought humans cannot fully evolve.”
Carlo Strenger, The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the Twenty-First Century

“The heroes of all myths face doubts. They feel that they have a calling but they do not know whether they can live up to their destinies. The drama of the psychological birth of the hero is facing fear, doubt, and hesitation; knowing that reaching for the stars entails the risk of failure, ridicule, even injury or death; and knowing that by not trying, you forfeit the possibility of greatness.”
Carlo Strenger, The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the Twenty-First Century
