"The pain, so unexpected and undeserved, had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didnâ€™t hate the cabinet door, I hated my lifeâ€¦ My house, my family, my backyard, my power mower. Nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. It had to end, and it did. Now in the dark world where I dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out in me constantly, and I can count on nothing."

Philip K. Dick
