Quote by Vaclav Hlavaty

The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith.

The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes

Summary

This quote suggests that as we continue to explore and advance in different aspects of life, the answers to fundamental questions about existence, purpose, and meaning become increasingly distant and elusive. It implies that despite our pursuit of knowledge and understanding, there comes a point where the only thing left to rely on is faith. In other words, faith becomes essential when intellectual and logical explanations are insufficient to provide satisfying answers to the mysteries of life.

Without belittling the courage with which men have died, we should not forget those acts of courage with which men have lived. The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he mustin spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressuresand that is the basis of all human morality. In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his consciencethe loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow meneach man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredientthey can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.

The illuminable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing oceantide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this is forever very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb, for we have no word to speak about it.
