This world…is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel. And…humans are condemned to do both. We have evolved a yearning for metaphysical purpose—for intrinsic justice and meaning in any earthly event—that is destined for frustration by our real environment. The process of life is oblivious to the beings it makes and breaks in the course of its perpetuation. And while no living creature escapes this carnage, only humans bear the burden of awareness. An uninhabited globe…would be no unfortunate thing.

“As for myself, I am splintered by great waves. I am coloured glass from a church window long since shattered. I find pieces of myself everywhere, and I cut myself handling them.”
