I know now it was our believing that we were filling some end, serving some plan-- that all would come out well in the end, because there was some great plan over all. Instead of the reality. There is no plan. All is hazard and the only thing that will perceive us is ourselves.

I wrote it down years ago and I can't remember from what book! I read several books around that time, the magus, catcher in the rye, perks of being a wallflower, good omens... I was literally reading two novels a week at that point so it really could've been anything. Thanks :)

Oddly enough, you hit it right with your first guess. It was John Fowles' The Magus.
