“It is not the instinct of self-preservation that keeps us going, it is only the impossibility of our seeing the future. Of seeing it ? of merely imagining it. If we knew all that lies ahead of us, no one would stoop to persist. Since every future disaster remains abstract, we cannot absorb it. Moreover, we do not even absorb it when it falls upon us and replaces us.”
— Emil M. Cioran, from “Stabs at Bewilderment“ in “Drawn and Quartered” (1979), translated from the French by Richard Howard
