modus vivendi.
I didn’t want to have to explain good people to good people, protect good people from good people, yet again and again that is what I felt I was being asked to do. Adulthood came to me like that: A realization that no one else was going to fly this plane

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
— D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterly’s Lover
