“Closing your eyes isn't going to change anything. Nothing's going to
disappear just because you can't see what's going on. In fact, things
will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That's the kind of
world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his
eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won't make time stand
still.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
