Quote

Let age approve of youth, and death complete the same

Grief that is dazed and speechless is out of fashion: the modern woman mourns her husband loudly and tells you the whole story of his death, which distresses her so much that she forgets not the slightest detail about it

We mortals cross the ocean of this world each in his average cabin of a life

Fear death? - to feel the fog in my throat, the mist in my face

There are only three events in a man's life; birth, life, and death; he is not conscious of being born, he dies in pain, and he forgets to live

Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death
