"Every man that ever lived craved perfect happiness, the detective poignantly reflected. But how can we have it when we know weâ€™re going to die? Each joy was clouded by the knowledge it would end. And so nature had implanted in us a desire for something unattainable? No. It couldnâ€™t be. It makes no sense. Every other striving implanted by nature had a corresponding object that wasnâ€™t a phantom. Why this exception? the detective reasoned. It was nature making hunger when there wasnâ€™t any food. We continue. We go on. Thus death proved life."

-- William Peter Blatty
