“To be human is to be in the tense condition of a death-foreseeing, consciously libidinous animal. No other earthly creature suffers such a capacity for thought, such a complexity of envisioned but frustrated possibilities, such a troubling ability to question the tribal and biological imperatives. ”
― John Updike

“So much love, too much love, it is our madness, it is rotting us out, exploding us like dandelion polls.”
― John Updike

“You do things and do things and nobody really has a clue.”
― John Updike, Rabbit, Run

“That's the trouble with caring about anybody, you begin to feel overprotective. Then you begin to feel crowded.”
― John Updike, Rabbit Redux
