Thrity Umrigar
“Maybe, in the end, that's all that love was - doing the hard thing. Not roses and valentines and walks on the beach, but simply being present, day after ordinary day. The extraordinary romanticism of ordinary life.”
Thrity Umrigar, Honor

“If fascism comes, it will not be identified with any 'shirt' movement, nor with an 'insignia,' but it will probably be 'wrapped up in the American flag and heralded as a plea for liberty and preservation of the constitution.”
James Waterman Wise, Jr.

Ernest Becker
“To suffer one’s death and to be reborn is not easy.” And it is not easy precisely because so much of one has to die.”
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Thrity Umrigar
“Why did human beings need to invent heaven and hell? Remy wondered. It was all here on Earth:”
Thrity Umrigar, The Museum of Failures

Christopher Lasch
“The new narcissist is haunted not by guilt but by anxiety. He seeks not to inflict his own certainties on others but to find a meaning in life. Liberated from the superstitions of the past, he doubts even the reality of his own existence.”
Christopher Lasch, The Culture of Narcissism: American Life in An Age of Diminishing Expectations
