The world destroys our humanity by the sheer weight of its insanity
"Evolution has succeeded in producing a sentient creature who thinks and feels, aspires, lays plans, and constructs beautiful futures to work toward. We dream dreams—and then discover that the world is designed to crush, not to fulfill, those dreams. We are prepared to live with goodness but find we must perpetually wrestle with evil. Driven by instinct to self-preservation, we never rest from having to face death. We cherish honesty, but find that neither the universe nor humankind is equipped for honesty. The world thus destroys our humanity by the sheer weight of its insanity."
