Famous Craig D. Lounsbrough Quotes

“If I have never had, or worse yet, I have lost the conviction that life (despite all of the blows it wields and the savagery that it spawns) is nonetheless an incalculable privilege, I will have in that single loss forfeited the whole of my life and effectively wiped out any hope that I can or will do anything other than exist.”

“Self-preservation is to hunker down in the suffocating confines of this infinitesimally tiny existence that I define as ‘me,’ instead of letting ‘me’ run through the infinitely massive expanse of everything that is not me. And if the beast of self-preservation does not permit such freedoms, I will preserve myself to my own death.”

“The purest essence of our humanity is rooted in the willingness to relinquish the gift of life in order to insure that that gift is preserved in the life of another. And to take the hands of cowardice and reach into the depths of our soul in an attempt to rip those roots out is to relinquish the gift of life without preserving anything in the relinquishment, including ourselves.”
