Dr. Mildred Watson: You're just like Don Quixote. You think that everything is always something else.
Justin Playfair: Well, he had a point. 'Course he carried it a bit too far. He thought that every windmill was a giant. That's insane. But, thinking that they might be, well... All the best minds used to think the world was flat. But what if it isn't? It might be round. And bread mold might be medicine. If we never looked at things and thought of what might be, why we'd all still be out there in the tall grass with the apes. - They Might Be Giants

In Durrenmatt's play An Angel Comes to Babylon one of the characters asks the angel why human life is so full of suffering. The angel regards her with astonishment and says:
"My dear young lady, I have travelled the world from end to end, and I can assure you there is not the slightest sign of suffering."
---
"Every human being is to live in fear and trembling, and likewise no established order is to be exempted from fear and trembling. Fear and trembling signify that we are in the process of becoming; and every single individual, likewise the generation, is and should be aware of being in the process of becoming. And fear and trembling signify that there is a God--something every human being and every established order ought not to forget for a moment." - Kierkegaard
