“At the door of life, by the gate of breath,There are worse things waiting for men than death.”
“When the door opens, I realize that the only thing worse than waiting is the moment you realize a decision has been made.”
“Men after death are understood worse than men of the moment, but heard better.”
“There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?”
“She waited the eternal instant that women wait when a horror jumps out at them. It is an instant that men do not use for waiting, an instant that opens a door to life or death. Women look through the opening because something might be alive in there.”
“There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love: that is worse.”
