“When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.”

The Tragic Sense of Life (1913), Conclusion : Don Quixote in the Contemporary European Tragi-Comedy
Context: I hope, reader, that some time while our tragedy is still playing, in some interval between acts, we shall meet again. And we shall recognize one another. And forgive me if I have troubled you more than was needful and inevitable, more than I intended to do when I took up my pen proposing to distract you from your distractions. And may God deny you peace, but give you glory!

“Steph thinks you can wear makeup and still find Narnia.
Well, so do I, but why make things harder?”
Juniper, Gentian, & Rosemary, Tor Books, 1998, Chapter 5, p. 56.
