Summary

The quote reflects the mindset of being relentlessly ambitious and self-critical. The individual admits to always pushing themselves harder, amplifying feelings of not being content or satisfied with their current level of success. Despite achieving milestones, they remain focused on aiming for higher goals, never fully relishing in their accomplishments as they believe they are meant for greater achievements in the future. This mentality perpetuates a constant drive for self-improvement and an ongoing pursuit of excellence.

In reality, this question, so often repeated nowadays, is but the recent form of a considerable affirmation and a secular prescription: there is where the truth is; go see if you can uncover it. [...] It is reasonable therefore to ask first of all: What is this injunction? Why this great chase after the truth of sex, the truth in sex?
