I do not know whether there is Truth or Not. But I instinctively feel that I cannot be without It. And I know that if It is, then It is everything for me: reason, and good, and strength, and life, and happiness. Perhaps It is not; but I love It – Love is more than everything that exists. I already count It as existing, and I love It - though perhaps non-existent – with all my soul and all my thinking and dreaming. I renounce everything for it -Even my questions and my doubts.
— Pavel Florensky, born on this date in 1882
