There's that awful story by Graham Greene about a man, a dog and a bridge
-"Across the Bridge", I think.
And the quotation from it:
"I suppose it was only one more indication of a human being's capacity of
self-deception, our baseless optimism that is so much more appalling than our
despair."

Kiel, Germany
