“Everyone facing death, especially premature death, like us, will be kicking themselves about each wasted hour.”
“It is strange that people train themselves so carefully to go to waste so prematurely”
“Each of us, I suppose needs his illusions. Life after death. A maker of planets. A woman to love, a man to hate. Something sacred. But what a waste.”
“Except that death collected everyone. Death is like that. Relentlessly efficient.”
“pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death”
“They say philosophers and wise men are indifferent. Wrong. Indifference is a paralysis of the soul, a premature death.”
