Futility Quote by Anonymous
““Futility can lead to thought, the laughable can become serious, and depth can succeed superficiality. Not all the time, and not necessarily, it goes without saying. Not every idiocy contains a philosophical pearl. But there exist ordinary situations, everyday gestures, actions we carry out continuously, which can become the starting point for that astonishment that gives rise to philosophy.””
