"At each stage of human existence the adult man is off on his quest of his holy grail, the way of life he seeks by which to live.
He is on a quest for
- automatic physiological satisfaction.
- a safe mode of living,
- heroic status, power and glory,
- ultimate peace;
- material pleasure,
- affectionate relations,
- respect of self
- peace in an incomprehensible world.
And, when he finds he will not find that peace, he will be off on his ninth level quest. As he sets off on each quest, 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."
