'He was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finish line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," he sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" '
Simón Bolívar in 'The General in his Labyrinth'
by Gabriel García Márquez
Of lists and things!
As Miles Halter in Looking for Alaska put it, getting out of the labyrinth of life/death/suffering requires impulsiveness. Surely, unlike François Rabelais, we endeavour to seek and finally, hopefully, find the Great Perhaps before death.
Maybe it needs a bit more polishing, but listing out dreams never hurt anyone :)
