“Sometimes,’ he said, ‘sometimes I think I know why. Sometimes I have a dream, a bad dream, and I wake up and I think, “I know now. I know what’s wrong.” Not just you not catching pregnant – everything. Everything that’s wrong with my life.’ ‘Stanley, nothing’s wrong with your life!’ ‘I don’t mean from inside,’ he said. ‘From inside is fine. I’m talking about outside. Something that should be over and isn’t. I wake up from these dreams and think, “My whole pleasant life has been nothing but the eye of some storm I don’t understand.” I’m afraid. But then it just … fades. The way dreams do.”
― Stephen King, It

“Man is born in order to think (there he is, Kirill, finally!). Except that I don't believe that. I've never believed it, and I still don't believe it, and what man is born for -I have no idea. He's born, that's all. Scrapes by as best he can.”
― Boris Strugatsky, Roadside Picnic
