“Continual success in obtaining those things which a man from time to time desireth, that is to say, continual prospering, is that men call FELICITY; I mean Felicity of this life.

—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

All they find, outside the fold,
Is a wretched width of cold.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.”
