Our conversations are becoming more and more idle. You should despise that, philosopher. You should want me to say something profound. Our conversations have less and less actual content.
We’re wearing speech away. To nothing. Or something.
One day, we might just wander into truth. Just say things and they’ll be the truth. They’ll stand in the truth. They’ll bear the truth like light. One day, truth will happen to us, philosophy. Truth will befall us. Can that happen? Is that madness? One day, truth will be where we are. The question is: will we know it?
