The Party Paradox...a dive into the thoughts of Christopher Hitchens
"I do not especially like the idea that one day I shall be tapped on the shoulder and informed, not that the party is over but that it is most assuredly going on - only henceforth in my absence. (It's the second of those thoughts: the edition of the newspaper that will come out on the day after I have gone, that is the more distressing.) Much more horrible, though, would be the announcement that the party was continuing forever, and that I was forbidden to leave. Whether it was a hellishly bad party or a perfectly heavenly party in every respect, the moment that it became eternal and compulsory would be the precise moment that it began to pall." - Christopher Hitchens (Hitch 22 pg. 331)
