“You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and

how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use

the future to escape the present.”

"Right, well, he'd been sick for a while and his nurse said to him,

'You seem to be feeling better this morning/ and Ibsen looked at her and said, Òn the contrary,' and
