iiAll man can do is re-create himself, each within his own limits, taking his mystique where he finds it without expecting morals from it, being as rational as he can Oe, and acting with as full a sense of responsibility as he can manage, in a world where he is always in motion. To remain a coherent person entails always a effort of imagination, for imagination is the only means we have of going beyond minimal awareness. To be ourselves is to deal with ourselves on the move between inexplicable birth and inexplicable death; and imagination, whether we call it mystique or reason or action, is the only weapon we have against death.ii
