Our souls are the battlefields where all revolutions break out and all
wars are waged, and our minds are the mirrors where all our fears and desires
are reflected. We are the terror and the salvation, the beginning and end of
wisdom, and folly, the sum total of our existence, with no meaning lurking
beyond us, at least not one that we can ever discern.
Technical Note
Obviously, the figure of the Revolutionary Philosopher is not taken from Delacroix's painting. Rather, it is borrowed from the equally famous oeuvre, The Death of Socrates, by Jacques-Louis David (1787).
