Not to get all “I’m holding out my pinky while daintily slurping my fucking Earl Grey” on you, but last night I was reading the new issue of the Paris Review—specifically, Lydia Davis’s essay on translating Madame Bovary [this is definitely the most ridiculous sentence I have ever written]—and came across this awesome Korean proverb:
“If it’s your fate to die, you’ll drown in a saucer of water.”
That is true ! We’re all going to die like kittens or mice.
