George Saunders
“We were as we were” …”how could we have been otherwise? Or, being that way, have done otherwise? We were that way, at that time, and had been led to that place, not by any innate evil in ourselves, but by the state of our cognition and experience up until that moment”
George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo

Frans de Waal

Philip Roth
“Here is someone not set up for life's working out poorly, let alone for the impossible.But who is set up for the impossible that is going to happen?

Philip Roth, American Pastoral
