Note to self:
Emile Durkheim was a pig, but he said this:
"To pursue a goal which is by definition unattainable is to condemn oneself to a state of perpetual unhappiness. Of course, man may hope contrary to all reason, and hope has its pleasures even when unreasonable. It may sustain him for a time; but it cannot survive the repeated disappointments of experience indefinitely."
So Durkheim was a pig. But a smart pig. That bastard.
