Cormac McCarthy

Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for miseries and yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries. Blaise Pascal
Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas. Defeat may prove to have been the only path to resurrection, despite its ugliness. I take it for granted that to create a tree I condemn a seed to rot. If the first act of resistance comes too late it is doomed to defeat. But it is, nevertheless, the awakening of resistance. Life may grow from it as from a seed. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
