"Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death." ― Elbert Hubbard Topic(s): Death More From Elbert Hubbard "The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it." "We work to become, not to acquire." "The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed – it is a process of elimination." More In Death "Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death."― Albert Camus "No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another."― Jean-Jacques Rousseau "I think that much of this was running in background as I contemplated whether or not to attend the PS 99 reunion, although I certainly anticipated that I would not; it smelled like death, not youth."― John Thorn
