The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.
What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.
From the desperate city you go to into the desperate
country, and have to console yourself with the bravery
of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious
despair is concealed even under that are called the games
and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for
this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom
not to do desperate things.
Henry David Thoreau
