The Aesthetics of Degradation Quotes

“In fact we never know what unforeseen event will still our hearts of drive us to madness or inconsolable grief. Moreover, the events that assail us are only apparently circumscribed in time; in truth, they reverberate eternally. We may think nothing of what will later prove an irreversible perversion of the course of our destiny.”
― Adrian Nathan West, The Aesthetics of Degradation
