Now we are to know that salvation lies in reversing the story, in ending the story of the end, dismantling Eschatology, ending this world of order in order to reverse the curse of the world laid on it in its Judeo-Christian end. Only a life without hope, meaning, justification, waiting, solution — as we have been shaped for these things — is free from the curse of God.
[Stanley Cavell, Ending the waiting game
from Must we mean what we say?]
