   When I was young, a couple of millennia ago, I used to think I knew what I was doing. I was aware of the world’s caprices—the goat dances it likes to do with our hopes and desires—but where my own actions were concerned, I was pretty confident that I was sitting square in the driver’s seat, with the wheel held firmly in my own two hands. Now I know different. Now I know that decisions we think we make are in fact made only in hindsight, and that at the time things are actually happening, all we do is drift. —The Black-Eyed Blonde by Benjamin Black
