Mysterious arrangement
“Droll thing life is–that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself–that comes too late–a crop of unextinguishable regrets. I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine.
From Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad, quoted by the mother of a daughter who committed suicide that had this quote in their room. This was featured in the Oscar nominated documentary, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, about the Sackler Family/Purdue Pharma, who developed the OxyContin that continues to kill hundreds of thousands of people worldwide due to the addictive nature of the drug, which the family and pharma denied and continues to cover up and pay little price for the pain and suffering and death of their victims.
