Quote by Marcel Proust

We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond.

We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond

Summary

This quote encourages us to overcome our fears and push the boundaries in our pursuit of truth. It suggests that truth is not easily discovered within the bounds of our comfort zones and requires us to venture into uncharted territories. By advocating for risks and going "too far," it emphasizes the importance of exploring new perspectives, challenging established beliefs, and embracing complexity in order to uncover deeper truths that may exist beyond what we currently know. It reminds us that growth and understanding often come from pushing the limits and being open to endless possibilities.

The first question which you will ask and which I must try t

The first question which you will ask and which I must try to answer is this, What is the use of climbing Mount Everest? and my answer must at once be, It is no use. There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behaviour of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation. But otherwise nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron. We shall not find a single foot of earth that can be planted with crops to raise food. It's no use. So, if you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won't see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for.
