"Life being what it is in our world, the onset of death is often the first taste a man gets of freedom. At least the imagination can come into its own, and as a man yields to it his emotions take on a surprising depth and intensity." -Isaac Rosenfeld, An Age of Enormity "The dying man has probably lost during the course of life things more important than what he is about to lose by dying." -Friederich Nietzsche, The Dawn of Day.

"When I was analyzing I observed clearly that the fear of death was in proportion to not-living. The less a person was in life, the greater the fear.

People living deeply have no fear of death." -Anais Nin, The Diaries of Anais Nin, Vol II "Few men ever drop dead from overwork, but many quietly curl up and die because of undersatisfaction." -Sydney J Harris, Strictly Personal.

The sky is less grand as it sets down over less worth in the population." -Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Nature" Essays.

"It is death which gives gambling and heroism their true meaning." -Albert Camus, Notebooks 1935-1942.

"Alone, alone, oh! We have been warned about solitary vices. Have solitary pleasures ever been adequately praised? Do many people know that they exist?" -Jessamyn West, Hide and Seek. "The prohibition against solitude is forever. A Carry Nation rises in every person when he thinks he sees someone sneaking off to be alone.

"Anything, everything little or big becomes an adventure when the right person shares it. Nothinh, nothing, nothing is worthwhile when we have to do it all alone." -Kathleen Norris, Hands Full of Living. "You may talk all you please of the misfortune of being "Old and Alone," but I tell you that approaches not one degree the misfortune of being young and alone." -Thomas Wolfe, Thomas Wolfe by Andrew Turnbull.

"No man can cut out new paths in company.He does that alone." -Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., The Mind and Faith of Justice Holmes, edited by Max Lerner.

"I am not promiscous, you know. Promiscuity implies that attraction is not necessary" -Tallulah Bankhead-quoted in Miss Tallulah Bankhead, by Lee Israel. "Lust is more abstract than logic; it seeks(hope triumphing over experience)for some purely sexual, hence purely imaginary, conjuction of an impossible femaleness" -C.S.Lewis-The Allegory of Love.
