David Shields
“Aging followed by death is the price we pay for the immorality of our genes. You find this information soul-killing; I find it thrilling, liberating. Life, in my view, is simple, tragic, and eerily beautiful.”
David Shields, The Thing About Life is That One Day You'll Be Dead

Marilynne Robinson
“It was probably best just to be quiet and wait until the conversation changed, as conversations will when no one is saying anything.”
Marilynne Robinson, Jack

Marlen Haushofer
“Up to a certain point one can get very used to pain; as I couldn’t make my legs better, I got used to the pain.”
Marlen Haushofer, The Wall

“He reflected that there were many things he had not done because for one reason or another they seemed unsafe -- too many, perhaps.”
Connell, Evan S

Haider Warraich
“The loneliness of death creates an uncrossable bridge between us and everyone and everything else. Much of what we achieve in our lives is an attempt to offset the sheer terror that the existential loneliness of dying arouses when the cover of meaning is lifted. The chief defense we erect against nothingness is family, and up until just before the end, it holds up quite well.”
Haider Warraich, Modern Death: How Medicine Changed the End of Life
