Epigraph

We never keep to the present. We recall the past; we anticipate the future as if we found it too slow in coming and were trying to hurry it up, or we recall the past as if to stay its too rapid flight. We are so unwise that we wander about in times that do not belong to us, and do not think of the only one that does; so vain that we dream of times that are not and blindly flee the only one that is. The fact is that the present usually hurts.

—Blaise Pascal, Pensées (#47)

There is nothing more terrorising than the possibility that nothing is hidden. There’s nothing more scandalous than a happy marriage.

—Adam Phillips, Monogamy
