• Nothing seems to matter quite as much. I no longer think about death in the concentrated way I once did. I don't know? you get so old and you sort of give up in some way. You've had your period of angst, your period of religious desperation, and you've arrived at a philosophical position where you don't need, or you can't bear, to look at it.

  John Updike

• Studies of people who report high well-being in their fifties and sixties indicate that they have lived lives that involved personal risks. They are not people whose lives have been calm and predictable. A life under tight control sometimes produces quiet desperation. High well-being is a life that has depth and quality. Risks, losses, problems, and tragedy add pain to a life. That pain becomes a teacher. We learn; the pain gives us no choice.

• Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays. But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death—Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come. No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, Sunday will come. In this life or the next, Sunday will come.

• Si tú, que estás organizado por la Divina Providencia para la comunión espiritual, te niegas, y entierras tu talento en la tierra, aunque te falte el pan natural, la pena y la desesperación te persiguen durante toda la vida, y después de la muerte la vergüenza y la confusión de rostro hasta la eternidad.

• Su desesperación y su miseria la arrastraron como una tormenta que se adueña del mar. Volvió su mente incluso a estos sentimientos, porque eran suyos, como su rabia aterrorizada en el ascensor cuando se habían conocido, estar envuelta en sus brazos en el frío pozo, estar deslumbrada por su asombro ante los bosques y su hogar y ella. Como ser un niño, consciente de él el coro matutino que la despertaba y la nana que la enviaba a dormir, sus pensamientos siempre su primera y última canción.Te quiero, le dijo Kami, y cortó.
