I see those frightful spaces of the universe which surround me, and I find myself tied to one corner of this vast expanse, without knowing why I am put in this place rather than in another, nor why the short time which is given me to live is assigned to me at this point rather than at another of the whole eternity which was before me or which shall come after me.
Frederick A. Weiss, M.D., is Past President of the Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis and a Charter Fellow of the Academy of Psychoanalysis.
