Excerpt from The Endless Life
It is disturbed by no sense of incongruity between what it has discovered as actual, and what it has conceived as possible and infinitely to be desired. It never flings itself passionately against its limitations, seeking to push them back, and believing that the best is yet to be. The equilibrium between its desires and its attainments is never greatly disturbed. To such a mind only that which can be measured is real.
If we were to accept such a mood as final, we might dismiss the subject of immortality. It has no standing place before such a judgment seat.
