“Of all words, none more purely distills the futility of human hope, mortal dreams. Did we but know the end is foreordained and soon, who could go on making such tender plans—someday I shall run my fingers through my lover’s hair—when the very next step we take shall pitch us into the sinkhole, there to be crushed to nothingness, smothered in an instant, by a thousand tonnes of earth? “Someday.” Ha!”
― Kai Ashante Wilson, The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps

“Sarcasm is a weapon of the intellectual,”
― Ed McBain, Cop Hater
