“As soon as you remove the sense of finitude and vulnerability, you remove the vitality of any possible love relationship. (43)”
Martin Hägglund, This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom

“So I'm not telling you not to be angry, Beal. That would be telling you not to be a human being. I'm telling you not to act when you're angry. There's a difference" -Lieutenant Colonel Hupfer”
Gary D. Schmidt, The Labors of Hercules Beal

Gary D. Schmidt
“I know this doesn't sound like some sort of earth-shattering new idea that's going to change the universe. But I wonder if what Hercules was most afraid of when he was holding up the sky wasn't that he was going to have to hold it up forever. It was that he was going to have to hold it up forever while he was by himself. THat's a kind of scary thing to think about.

Maybe, the stuff we hold up, we don't have to hold up by ourselves all the time. Maybe sometimes we can let someone else hold is up too. Maybe that's how we can get by. Maybe.”
Gary D. Schmidt, The Labors of Hercules Beal

“Here's the first rule: Bad things happen that you can't fix.
Here's the second rule: You have to live with the first rule.
Here's the third rule: The first two rules stink.”
Gary D. Schmidt, The Labors of Hercules Beal

Martin Hägglund
“To keep faith in mortal life, then, is to remain vulnerable to a pain that no strength can finally master. Mortality is not only intrinsic to what makes life meaningful, but also makes life susceptible to lose meaning and become unbearable. The point is not to overcome this vulnerability but to recognize that it is an essential part of why our lifes matter and why we care. (49)”
Martin Hägglund, This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom
