“The reason 'closure' is a cliche is that it is used too often, too imprecisely, and doesn't in any case reflect reality. In reality, such closure in broken friendships and much else in life is rarely achieved; only death brings closure and then not always for those still living.”
Joseph Epstein, Friendship: An Expose

“Of all the seven deadly sins, only Envy is no fun at all.”
Joseph Epstein, Envy

“I believe it was Gayelord Hauser, the nutritionist, who said, 'You are what you eat,' but if you happen to be an intellectual, you are what you quote.”
