Yes, yes, I see it all! – an enormous social activity, a mighty civilization, a profuseness of science, of art, of industry, of morality, and afterwords, when we have filled the world with industrial marvels, with great factories, with roads, museums and libraries, we shall fall exhausted at the foot of it all, and it will subsist – for whom?

Perhaps it weeps or laughs inwardly – but then perhaps, also inwardly, the crab resolves equations of the second degree.Miguel De Unamuno
