The idealist’s program of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can’t imagine why; but they do.

Its tiny secret links remind us of how paradoxically happy we are to be alive while illuminating how tragically absurd life is Picture Quote #1
