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

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

Edith Wharton
“Life has a way of overgrowing its achievements as well as its ruins.”
Edith Wharton, The Spark

“We have delayed death but have also made getting there more difficult.”
Warraich, Haider

“They had lived reasonably and logically, with fine practicality, and it had come to this. Over halfway through life, possibly much closer to the end than they knew, this was where they found themselves.”
Connell Evan S
