11. “Yes. We both have a bad feeling. Tonight we shall take our bad feelings and share them, and face them. We shall mourn. We shall drain the bitter dregs of mortality. Pain shared, my brother, is pain not doubled, but halved. No man is an island.”
Neil Gaiman
Friendship, Empathy, Shared Pain, Mortality, Connection
21. “Wherever your life ends, it is all there. The utility of living consists not in the length of days, but in the use of time; a man may have lived long, and yet lived but a little. Make use of time while it is present with you. It depends upon your will, and not upon the number of days, to have a sufficient length of life.” Michel de Montaigne Life, Time, Purpose, Mortality, Wisdom
24. “When, at the end of their lives, most men look back they will find that they have lived throughout ad interim. They will be surprised to see that the very thing they allowed to slip unappreciated and unenjoyed by was their life. And so a man, having been duped by hope, dances into the arms of death.” Arthur Schopenhauer Reflection, Life, Regret, Mortality, Philosophical Insight
27. “A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more. The heart rebels against this, and feels that it cannot be true.” Arthur Schopenhauer Existence, Astonishment, Mortality, Human Condition, Philosophical Reflection
