“What is vertigo? Fear of falling? Then why do we feel it even when the observation tower comes equipped with a sturdy handrail? No, vertigo is something other than the fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
-Milan Kundera, "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"
Isn't it bloody annoying when you realise some author has already said everything you were painstakingly trying to spit out, and has said it more succintly and precisely than you could of ever dreamed of? Bastards.
