To expect this larger-than-life, holier-than-thou sort of existence from us is not possible. We as much want to make our own mistake as a man does.

Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale; and he wishes that it were.
Wrong life cannot be lived rightly.
We all see that, today, man can destroy the foundation of his existence: his Earth.
As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins.
Life is possible only by the deficiencies of our imagination and memory.
We are not actually in charge of life, yet behave as if we are the masters of our own destiny. The realization of this fact is quite a hard one. The ridiculousness of our pomposity and presumption can only result in anger or humor.
If man limits himself to a satisfied animal existence, and asks from life only what such an existence can give, the higher values of life at once disappear.
I truly believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us and create the life we want to live. I have seen it happen time and time again.
All living things are gnarly, in that they inevitably do things that are much more complex than one might have expected.
Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed.
