Notes

  • Dedication: To my mother who knows what it all means and to my friends who have encouraged me to ask.
  • Epigraph: There are many people who reach their conclusions about life like schoolboys; they cheat their master by copying the answer out of a book without having worked out the sum for themselves (Kierkegaard).
