"The experience of Being is not merely an idea or an opinion: it is a state of the spirit and of the heart, the key to life and to one's orientation of life, to one's way of existence; it is not merely one experience among many: it is the experience of all experiences, their veiled starting point and their veiled end. It is a genuinely human journey, arduous and beautiful for what it entails - all the way from the injunction to pay attention to the incorruptible voice that is everywhere calling us to responsibility...to that highest delight, as we experience it fully and completely in those fleeting moments when the meaning of Being is brought home to us, when we find ourselves on the very 'edge of finitude' - face-to-face with the miracle of the world and the miracle of our own 'I.'"
