It is possible to meet the sceptic who believes that everything began in himself. He doubts not the existence of angels or devils, but of men and cows. ... Then when this kindly world all around the man has been blackened out like a lie...then the great individualistic motto shall be written over him in avenging irony. ... [O]ver his cell shall be written, "He believes in himself."
Gilbert K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
