Viktor E. Frankl
“An active life serves the purpose of giving man the opportunity to realize values in creative work, while a passive life of enjoyment affords him the opportunity to obtain fulfillment in experiencing beauty, art, or nature. But there is also purpose in that life which is almost barren of both creation and enjoyment and which admits of but one possibility of high moral behavior: namely, in man's attitude to his existence, an existence restricted by external forces. A creative life and a life of enjoyment are banned to him. But not only creativeness and enjoyment are meaningful. If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. Without suffering and death human life cannot be complete.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Cormac McCarthy
“Overseen all day by a goldtoothed pervert who carried a plaited rawhide quirt and harried them down the gutters on their knees gathering up the filth.”

To the place that, because of the Negroes living there, we called Timbuctoo. A letter from a distinguished woman in the East who had long”
Russell Banks, Cloudsplitter

Cormac McCarthy
“Nothing moved in that purgatorial waste save carnivorous birds. By”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West
