A life quenched in ordsprog

A life quenched in an untimely manner is always sad, the life of a young person quenched, whatever the circumstances, troubles us deeply. If that death arose through suicide that sense of loss is compounded inexorably. TS Eliot's evocative words serve to underline that awful sense of loss for the potential that was never allowed to fully blossom, for all that might have been but wasn't to be:

And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: / Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: / Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Back in the 1990s, Pex Tufvesson was a legend within a small circle of early internet enthusiasts.

However great a man's fear of life, suicide remains the courageous act, the clear-headed act of a mathematician. The suicide has judged by the laws of chance -- so many odds against one that to live will be more miserable than to die. His sense of mathematics is greater than his sense of survival. But think how a sense of survival must clamor to be heard at the last moment, what excuses it must present of a totally unscientific nature.

Graham Greene (1904-1991)

Graham Greene

If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.

Muriel Spark (1918-)

Muriel Spark

LOSS, n. Privation of that which we had, or had not. Thus, in the latter sense, it is said of a defeated candidate that he "lost his election"; and of that eminent man, the poet Gilder, that he has "lost his mind." It is in the former and more legitimate sense, that the word is used in the famous epitaph:

Here Huntington's ashes long have lain Whose loss is our eternal gain, For while he exercised all his powers Whatever he gained, the loss was ours.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Teenagers too often have to deal with loss and death. You had to cope with the untimely death of your brother; how can young people deal with such tragedies?

Andrew Shue (1967-)

There was a tremendous sense of betrayal on the part of the employees because they had bought into the philosophy of being independent and that bank had been so successful, ... To a person, there was a sense of loss.

There was a tremendous sense of betrayal on the part of the employees because they had bought into the philosophy of being independent and that bank had been so successful. To a person, there was a sense of loss.

If you teach a young person that their life has no value, they'll treat their life like their life has no value. They will do things that show that they don't really respect themselves, such as use drugs or attempt suicide or engage in unprotected sex.

We mourn with the world the passing of Pope John Paul II. His death brings to all a deep sense of grief and loss. He was a holy champion of the Filipino family and of the profound Christian values that make everyone of us contemplate, everyday, what is just, moral and sacred in life.

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

It will be a loss. Jay and his sister have done an exceptional job with that station. They have earned the right to cash in their chips. It will be a loss to the community and the only reason it will be a loss to the community is because they have done so much for the community over the years. They have created a sense of loss by doing a hell-of-a-job.

I had the advantage of making a movie about a man who was an artist himself, and an artist of the shadows, in the sense that he understood life's lonelinesses and life's mistakes, and that people make them. In that sense, he wasn't interested in hiding them.

As in the best tradition of the Christian community, death can bring a renewed sense of life. That is the case here. There is a renewed sense of respect and honor for each other, a renewed sense of honesty and friendship.

Rev. Gary Uhlenkott

Our goal is zero loss of life. The best way to avoid loss of life is to get people out. The evacuation went well. Certainly there were glitches in terms of traffic management . . . but we consider it a success.
