“Uncertainty—that is appropriate for matters of this world. Only regarding the next

“Uncertainty—that is appropriate for matters of this world. Only regarding the next can we vouchsafe certainty. I believe certainty regarding that which we can see and touch, it is seldom justified, if ever. Down the ages from our remote past, what certainties survive? And yet we hurry to fashion new ones, wanting their comfort.”

- From The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
