"He felt a sudden anger at SheAlmighty. People around him could have been happy. He could have been happy himself. At Leisemeer's restaurant they could all have felt like absolute kings. Or better yet, like gods, for after eating and drinking and receiving royal service, the tableware disappeared, the footmen disappeared, the whole feudal illusion disappeared, and one was out in the carefree Copenhagen night.
Instead one found natural catastrophes. Children mistreated. Kidnappings. Loneliness. Separation of people who love each other.
His anger increased. The problem with anger against God is that it's impossible to go higher in the system to complain."
- 'The Quiet Girl', Peter Høeg.
