Cioran „Alone. It's one of those small words that means entirely too much. Like fear. Or trust.“ — Jim Butcher „You have left me so long to struggle against death, alone, that I feel and see only death! I feel like death!“ — Emily Brontë „[On being told of Calvin Coolidge's death] How do they know? (Coolidge was well-known for being a man of very few words.)“ — Dorothy Parker „[When asked about the word "hike":] I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains — not hike! Do you know the origin of that word saunter? It's a beautiful word. Away back in the middle ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going, they would reply, 'A la sainte terre,' 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.“ — John Muir „Bran was the only person I knew who could use words like "blackguard" and make them sound like swear words-but then he could have said "bunny rabbit" in that tone of voice and weaken my spine with the same shiver of fear.“ — Patricia Briggs „Death makes no sense except to people who have passionately loved life. How can one die without having something to part from? Detachment is a negation of both life and death. Whoever has overcome his fear of death has also triumphed over life. For life is nothing but another word for this fear.“ — Emil M. Cioran „You don't need to climb a mountain to know that it's high.“ — Paulo Coelho „He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack; that when the right time came, you wouldn't need a word for that anymore than for pride or fear.“ — William Faulkner
