"if one generation succeeded the other as the songs of birds in the woods, if the human race passed through the world as ship through the sea or the wind through the desert, a thoughtless and fruitless whim, if an eternal oblivion always lurked for its prey and there were no power strong enough to wrest it from its clutches -- how empty and devoid of comfort life would be!"
- Søren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling
