In days gone by, we were afraid of dying in dishonor or a state of sin. Nowadays, we are afraid of dying fools. Now the fact is that there is no Extreme Unction to absolve us of foolishness. We endure it here on earth as subjective eternity. – Jean Baudrillard
Most men make the voyage of life as if they carried sealed orders which they were not to open till they were fairly in mid-ocean. – James Russell Lowell
