" here is someone not set up for life’s working out poorly, let alone for the impossible. but who is set up for the impossible that is going to happen? who is set up for tragedy and the incomprehensibility of suffering? nobody. the tragedy of the man not set up for tragedy—that is every man’s tragedy.

— philip roth, american pastoral.
