“Living in an age of casual sex, serial commitments, and frequent divorce, we are all in danger of becoming as jaded as anceien regime aristocrats. Does the notion of undying love still have any meaning for us today?”

“At some level of consciousness, all lovers know this. If you cease to care for the person you love, you will give up a vital piece of your identity. You will become someone else. You will look back on your past love with tenderness or anger or some other combination of feelings, but you will not be able to recapture the same emotions you once felt.”

“What Matters to Me"
1. What matters to me is my family and close friends. In this way, I am like almost everyone else in the world.
2. What matters to me is my work, no longer as a professor, but as a writer reaching out to readers within and beyond the academic circle,
3. What matters to me is Nature, another form of beauty and truth. Throughout my life the natural world has been a source of enjoyment, comfort, and inspiration.
4. And now I remember...the fourth...It has to do with moral impulse, with the search for meaning and human connection, and with our relation to Nature, that we now lump together under the word "spirituality.”
― A Matter of Death and Life
