Spirit

"Spirit costantly formulates questions. It must store up inquiries. The creative power of spirit lies in its ability to create questions. Thus the supreme objective of spirit is in the creation of the question itself -- in short, the creation of nature. But that is impossible. Yet the march toward impossibility is the method of spirit. Spirit is -- well, it is the drive to pile zero on zero endlessly in order to arrive at one."

~ Yukio Mishima, Forbidden Colors.
