Everything's in ruins, everything's been degraded... it’s about man's own judgment over his own self… acquire, debase, debase, acquire… like a rat attacks from ambush… they rule the earth… even immortality is theirs… everything, everything is lost forever! And all at once they realized that there is neither God nor gods… all at once they saw that there is neither good nor bad. Then they saw and understood that if this was so, then they themselves do not exist either! - László Krasznahorkai (The Turin Horse)
