But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.

Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
