What was I supposed to do then I wondered. Was there even a supposed-to for this kind of situation? A situation when when I looked at my receding past everything seemed retrospectively marked by an extreme order and predictability yet all moments since seemed to obey, and promised to continue obeying, their own set of stochastic, undisclosed, and undiscoverable laws. Where I was fully aware of the pitfalls and folly of a finely-tuned narcissism but still the known universe seemed to bend and bend inexorably inward and towards me where it awaited my next move, supremely ready to react accordingly. And how I knew that decisions I would soon make or defer would have near-Sophoclean import and yet nonetheless it all seemed oddly irrelevant. ↗

Можеш, както искаш, да заобикаляш, да вървиш на зигзаг, по хоризонтал, в кръг, но никога да не изпущаш височината. Колко усилия ти струва да се изкатериш нависоко. Тези усилия ще бъдат хвърлени по вятъра, ако не съумееш да се задържиш там. По това се отличаваш от обикновения турист в планината: че никога не падаш под височината, която веднъж си преодолял. По това се отличаваш от обикновения турист в живота. ↗

[He]... watches the Joker rising from his wheelchair, the way a rabbit watches car headlights bearing down, unable to move a single, spotlit muscle. The madman's limbs appear to unlatch as though some psychotic god has chosen to give life to a complicated Swiss Army knife. The Joker's head rotates... the green lasers of his eyes target the keys at the big man's belt, and he shakes his head. ↗
