It is not a single cowardice that drives us into fiction's fantasies. We often fear that literature is a game we can't afford to play — the product of idleness and immoral ease. In the grip of that feeling it isn't life we pursue, but the point and purpose of life — its facility, its use. ↗

— William H. Gass

Our abode in this world is transitory, our life therein is but a loan, our breaths are numbered and our indolence is manifest. ↗
