“ Everything is endured—disgrace, humiliation, poverty, war, crime, ennui —in the belief that overnight something will occur, a miracle, which will render life tolerable. And all the while a meter is running inside and there is no hand that can reach in there and shut it off. ”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer (1934). copy citation
