The Holy Grail.

All that stuff about the Holy Grail being the cup from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper is a pile of crap. The Holy Grail first appeared in a work by Chretien de Troyes, and he died before he got around to saying what it was.

I know what it is and I’ll tell you, shall I? The Holy Grail is the thing you’ve spent your life looking for. But when you catch up with it, it’s visible but out of reach so you can’t touch it. All you know is that its beauty and mystery is beyond the wildest excesses of your dreams. The result is frustration so profound that you either go completely fucking insane or you die! That’s what the Holy Grail is.

Now you know. Goodnight.
