“When someone you love dies, and you're not expecting it, you don't lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there's a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she's gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.”
― John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

“The Devil hath power
To assume a pleasing shape.”
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

“...It is no less impossible for us not to taste as bitter the death of those whose life for us was such a source of sweetness.”
― Augustine of Hippo, City of God

“They, then, who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death they are to die, but into what place death will usher them.”
― Augustine of Hippo, City of God
