"For the mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for. Without a concrete idea of what he is living for, man would refuse to live, would rather exterminate himself than remain on earth, even though everywhere around him was bread."
--from "The Grand Inquisitor" in Fyodor Dostoyevsky's
The Brothers Karamazov
(1879–1880)
