Do you believe we can know the truth about all things, or are there things we simply can never know the truth about?'Â
This quote from On Life captures the spirit of the book. In it, four friends - Director, Friend, Artist, and Scientist - pursue, in short philosophical dialogues, the truth about such topics as love, happiness, madness, belief, and pleasure, to name a few. The characters engage in serious inquiry, but in a lighter way, a way that allows them to hunt truths concerning life - without burning out.
