Quote of the Day (3/24/11)

Since Darwin, we have been forced, in art as in life, to mature to finiteness. I mean maturing as human beings not simply by realizing that there are no usable absolutes for man—for that mere realization is still a kind of adolescence—but by accepting one's finiteness and learning to live with it with some degree of sanity and integrity.
--Philip Appleman, "Darwin: On Changing the Mind"
