Good God, if our civilization were to sober up for a couple of days it'd die of remorse on the third.
Malcolm LowryTo say nothing of what you lose, lose, lose, are losing, man. You fool, you stupid fool ... You've even been insulated from the responsibility of genuine suffering ... Even the suffering you do endure is largely unnecessary. Actually spurious. It lacks the very basis you require of it for its tragic nature. You deceive yourself.
Malcolm Lowry
