Caring is the only daring.

Kenneth Patchen Poet

Law and order embrace on hate's border.

Kenneth Patchen Poet

Think enough and you won't know anything.

Kenneth Patchen Poet

Art is not to throw light but to be light.

Kenneth Patchen Poet

The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.

Hermann Hesse Poet

Death but supplies the oil for the inextinguishable lamp of life.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge Poet

Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.

Miguel De Cervantes Novelist

Unquiet souls. In the dark fermentation of earth, in the never idle workshop of nature, in the eternal movement, yea shall find yourselves again.

Matthew Arnold Poet

When someone you love dies, and you're not expecting it, you don't lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there's a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she's gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.

John Irving Novelist

A man’s dying is more the survivors’ affair than his own.

Thomas Mann Novelist
