     Brace yourself, it's:
                                                      SEARCH_FOR_A_SEARCH
     Jean-Paul Sartre,
     "Search for a Method", p.159:

     "The dialectical movement, which proceeds from the
     objective conditioning to objectification,
     enables us to understand that the ends of human
     activity are not mysterious entities added on to
     the act itself; they represent simply the
     surpassing and the maintaining of the given in an
     act which goes from the present toward the
     future.  The end is the objectification itself
     inasmuch as it constitutes the dialectical law of
     a human conduct and the unity of its internal
     contradictions.  The presence of the future at
     the heart of the present".

                                                                            
                                           My apologies for inflicting that      
                                           quote on you.  I think it's a         
                                           good example of Sartre descending     
                                           to incomprehensible gobblydygook.     
                                                                                 
             The unity of its                                                    
             internal                           But then, sometimes             
             contradictions...                  when I look at it and         
                                                squint, I can get it          
                                                to make a kind of sense...
