Unhappy marriage

It is not a lack of love, 

but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. (Friedrich Nietzsche)

Familiar

The more familiar two people become, the more the language they speak together departs from that of the ordinary, dictionary-defined discourse. Familiarity creates a new language, an in-house language of intimacy that carries reference to the story the two lovers are weaving together and that cannot be readily understood by others. (Alain de Botton)

Where death is

Lucretius’ doctrine: “Where death is, I am not; where I am, death is not." (Yalom)

Difference

There is a distinction between being absorbed in the way things are in the world and being aware that things are in the world. (Heidegger)

Love death

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. 


Love leaves a memory no one can steal. 

Refuzul de a primi ce iti ofera viata

Refuzul de a primi ce-ti ofera viata, ca sa nu-i ramai datoare cu moartea. (Yalom)
