… must our ideas come to something… what is that something in the context of a vast universe?… the idea that there must always be growth?… isn’t that the same as assuming our ideas must come to some thing?… what is it with things anyway?… why are they so important?…

Contaminated by the superstition of action, we believe that our ideas must come to something. (E. M. Cioran and Richard Howard, The Temptation to Exist)
