“The combination of our mortality with our groundlessness imparts to human life its pressing and enigmatic character. We struggle to in our brief time in the midst of an impenetrable darkness. A small area is lighted up: our civilizations, our sciences, our loves. We prove unable to define the place of the lighted area within a larger space devoid of light, and must go to our deaths unenlightened.”
Roberto Mangabeira Unger, The Religion of the Future

“Hope is more the consequence of action than its cause. As the experience of the spectator favors fatalism, so the experience of the agent produces hope.”
Roberto Mangabeira Unger, The Future of American Progressivism: An Initiative for Political and Economic Reform

Roberto Mangabeira Unger, The Religion of the Future
