Existence is so bitter for every one of us! Ought we not forgive others much, my friend, if we wish to be forgiven ourselves? Émile Zola, Nana (1880)
The first ontological argument in Western Christian tradition was proposed by Saint Anselm of Canterbury in his 1078 work, Proslogion (Latin: Proslogium, lit. ‘Discourse [on the Existence of God]’), in which he defines God as “a being than which no greater can be conceived,” and argues that such a being must exist in the mind, even in that of the person who denies the existence of God.
