“The Greatest Of All Human Delusions Is That There Is A Tangible Goal…”

Stephenspender

“The greatest of all human delusions is that there is a tangible goal, and not just direction towards an ideal aim. The idea that a goal can be attained perpetually frustrates human beings, who are disappointed at never getting there, never being able to stop.”
– Stephen Spender, World Within World
