What are the criteria for "successful?" I do not believe that existentialism flatters us or makes us th center of the universe. It simply says that we exist in a vast universe which we do not control.. Ergo, the quote is inaccurate.

Wise. I thought that the quote is generally true, but only with the many exceptions of people who see through the trick. It seems I don't need to prove my point, because along you came.
