Quote by Eugene Ionesco

There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation.

Summary

This quote suggests that in almost all religions, philosophies, and ideologies, the notion exists that ordinary life is akin to confinement or bondage. It implies that these belief systems recognize a sense of disconnection or separation from our true selves or from some fundamental truth. Whether it is the pursuit of spiritual liberation, the quest for understanding, or the desire for personal freedom, there is a common thread of perceiving everyday existence as a form of imprisonment or estrangement.

My experiences of men has neither disposed me to think worse of them nor be indisposed to serve them: nor, in spite of failures which I lament, of errors which I now see and acknowledge, or the present aspect of affairs, do I despair of the future. The truth is this: The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged.
