“We have lost, being born, as much as we shall lose dying: Everything!”
“We hurt so much because we have lost a part of ourselves. If we have loved much, we must have given much also, and when everything's over, we feel as though we have lost everything.”
“Maybe we lost the things we loved then so we could survive losing everything else.”
“We are born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Everything in-between is a gift. ”
“What then remains, but that we still should cryNot to be born, or being born, to die?”
“Gomers are human beings who have lost what goes into being human beings. They want to die, and we will not let them.”
