I think that any authentic feeling one has of life should be a feeling of defeat. It’s a losing game. You’re going to die. Civilisation is going to end. If you really grasp what is going on, you should feel some desperation. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t love your life or try to improve it. — Etgar Keret, http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2008/jan/29/abriefsurveyoftheshortst6
