“Thirty years ago I said, But how can one be sick? But now I say, If only one could find the secret of not being sick, I would not exchange it for all the secrets in the world.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved, sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes, and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has shared much good and evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty, to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
