"Compromise now, because you'll have to later, anyway, only then you'll have gone through things you'll wish you hadn't."

Next Quote

Fear is unnatural. Lightning and thunder are unnatural. Pain, death, reality, these are all unnatural. We can't bear these things as they are. We know too much. So we resort to repression, compromise and disguise. This is how we survive the universe. This is the natural language of the species.

— Don DeLillo
