Symposium, January 1st, 2002
At each stage of human existence [...] man is off on his quest of his holy grail, the way of life he seeks by which to live. [...] He believes he will find the answer to his existence. Yet, much to his surprise and much to his dismay, he finds at every stage that the solution to existence is not the solution he has come to find. Every stage he reaches leaves him disconcerted and perplexed. It is simply that as he solves one set of human problems he finds a new set in their place. The quest he finds is never ending.
--Clare Graves (qtd. in Beck and Cowan 16)
