Giacomo Leopardi
“The surest way of concealing from others the boundaries of one's own knowledge is not to overstep them.”
Giacomo Leopardi

Giacomo Leopardi
“Men are wretched by necessity, and determined to believe themselves wretched by accident.”
Giacomo Leopardi

Ernest Becker
“The key to the creative type is that he is separated out of the common pool of shared meanings. There is something in his life experience that makes him take in the world as a problem; as a result he has to make personal sense out of it.”
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Caitlin Doughty
“In many ways, women are death's natural companions. Every time a woman gives birth, she is creating not only a life, but also a death. Samuel Beckett wrote that women "give birth astride of a grave." Mother Nature is indeed a real mother, creating and destroying in a constant loop.”
Caitlin Doughty, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes & Other Lessons from the Crematory

Ernest Becker
“It is fateful and ironic how the lie we need in order to live dooms us to a life that is never really ours.”
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death
