Damn! That's it exactly! I don't remember reading this quote of Schopenhauer's. Do you know which text this is from?

I got Ligotti's "Conspiracy". I'm gonna have to leaf thru it and find that quote. That one flat nails it down solid.

Thank you, sir. Yeah. I found it. Hell, I had it marked. I even had it personally indexed on the back cover. It's a large passage and the quote is in there. I'm gonna re-read that book. It is chock full of goodies & some stuff can be overlooked or forgotten.

"To make it through this life, we must make believe that we are not what we are --- contradictory beings whose continuance only worsens our plight as mutants who embody the contorted logic of a paradox."
Thomas Ligotti

Found the above quote on the preceding page of the aforementioned Schopenhauer quote in the "Conspiracy"... Ligotti has a way with words.
