When we go the humanist route and honor man because we honor man, we find at the end of the day that our paltry sense of honor, suspended from its own sky hook, bolted up there to nothing whatever, is not all that distinct from dishonor. The entire human race is nothing more than the foam on the surface of an infinite ocean of chaos.”
