“There are some temptations that cannot be resisted, some lessons we never learn.”
― Susan Hill, Mrs de Winter

“I find no comfort in it, eternity, everlasting life. When I am dead, I will be gone, and I will never know I existed. I will not know I ever was. Just as when I am asleep, I do not know I exist or ever existed.
I am not saddened or frightened. It is this that brings me comfort. Confidence. Confidence to do something now, in this life, with my life. This one and only life of mine.”
― Eric Rickstad, Lilith

“We busy ourselves trying not to be lonely, trying to find purpose in careers, and lovers, and children, but at any moment, those things we work so hard to possess could be taken from us. I feel better knowing I’m not alone, that the whole world is as fragile and lonely as I am.”
― Tarryn Fisher, The Wives

“The meaning of life is that it ends.”
― Frank Kafka
