Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Assyrian warship 700-692 BC From Nineveh, South-West Palace, Room VII, panel 11  This ship was probably built and manned by Phoenicians employed by Sennacherih. It is a birene, with two rows of oars. Shields are fastened around the superstructure, as on the fortifications of some city walls. The pointed bow is a ram, for holding enemy ships.

People who believe that they are strong-willed and the masters of their destiny can only continue to believe this by becoming specialists in self-deception. Their decisions are not really decisions at all—a real decision makes one humble, one knows that it is at the mercy of more things than can be named— but elaborate systems of evasion, of illusion, designed to make themselves and the world appear to be what they and the world are not.
