So in all
these little ways we spin a web, a cocoon, around ourselves.
The cocoon becomes nice and snug and comfortable because it
is very familiar. We know every little corner of our life;
we can even write poetry about it. We may also have ideas
about the ''great mystery'' which religions speak of, which
gives our cocoon an especial sense of security: we can
worship the great mystery outside of it and feel good about
that. The cocoon is safe, bounded, claustrophobic, and a
little stale. We settle into it and live our lives.
-- Jeremy W. Hayward
I can't be
bitter. No one has a contract on life.
-- David M. Heath
Every man's
life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he
lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
-- Ernest Hemingway
1898-1961, American Writer
Life is to be
lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well
better find some way that is going to be interesting. And
you don't do that by sitting around.
-- Katharine Hepburn
1907-, American Actress,
