- "Grief at the absence of a loved one is happiness compared to life with a person one hates."
- "Marriage, it seems, confines every man to his proper rank."
More In Death
- "That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life."― Amelia Barr
- "The campaign against the death penalty has been – while a powerful campaign, its participants have been those who attend all of the vigils, a relatively small number of people."― Angela Davis
- "I think one thing that kids who grow up on farms really have going for them is they have exposure to death and birth in a totally different way. I think it takes away a little bit of the mystery and a little bit of the fear, and I do wish I had that. And I wish I was able to grow my own food."― Rachel McAdams
