When one faints, people shout for water, eau de cologne, smelling salts;
but when one is about to despair the cry is, Get me possibility, get possibility!
Possibility is the only saving remedy;
given a possibility, the desperate man breathes once more, he revives again,
for without possibility a man cannot, as it were, draw breath.
Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life
