The bigger the crowd, the more negligible the individual. — Carl Jung

Just as man as a social being, cannot in the long run exist without a tie to the community, so the individual will never find the real justification for his existence, and his own spiritual and moral autonomy, anywhere except in an extramundane principle capable of relativizing the overpowering influence of external factors.

Reason alone does not suffice.

You can take away a man's gods, but only to give him others in return.
