“I never had a dog that showed a human fear of death. Death, to a dog, is the final unavoidable compulsion, the least ineluctable scent on a fearsome trail, but they like to face it alone, going out into the woods, among the leaves, if there are any leaves when their time comes, enduring without sentimental human distraction the Last Loneliness, which they are wise enough to know cannot be shared by anyone.” IfsKnowsHumansEnoughLastsFacesDeathWiseDogLonelinessEndureFinalsWoodsDistractionGoing OutScentSentimentalTrailsFear Of DeathCompulsion Author:James Thurber
“No shame in saying that I felt a loneliness drifting through me. Funny how it was, everyone perched in their own little world with the deep need to talk, each person with their own tale, beginning in some strange middle point, then trying so hard to tell it all, to have it all make sense, logical and final.” WorldNeedsTryingLittlesPersonsHardFeltMiddleLonelinessStrangeShameFinalsTalesMake SenseLogicalDriftingTrying So Hard Book:Let The Great World Spin Source: Let The Great World Spin
“Grief causes you to leave yourself. You step outside your narrow little pelt. And you can’t feel grief unless you’ve had love before it - grief is the final outcome of love, because it’s love lost. […] It’s the cycle of love completed: to love, to lose, to feel grief, to leave, and then to love again. Grief is the awareness that you will have to be alone, and there is nothing beyond that because being alone is the ultimate final destiny of each individual living creature. That’s what death is, the great loneliness.” FeelsLittlesIndividualLostCausesLosesGriefStepsDestinyAwarenessLonelinessCreaturesUltimateFinalsOutcomesCyclesLost LoveLiving CreaturesLove Again Author:Philip K.

“The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness. The remarkable thing is that the cessation of the inner dialogue marks also the end of our concern with the world around us. It is as if we noted the world and think about it only when we have to report it to ourselves.” IfsThinkingWorldEndsSadnessLonelinessConcernMarkFinalsGenuineDialogueReportsRemarkable Author:Eric Hoffer

“There is no final solution to loneliness until you recognize that you need the resources which are in yourself to enpy, within limits, being alone being the kind of person that you like to be with, and reaching out to others, not in a grasping way, but in an attempt to be meaningful and loving and of service in their lives.” WayLifeNeedsKindPersonsLonelinessLimitsSolutionsResourcesFinalsMeaningfulReachingReach OutGraspingFeeling Lonely Author:Truman G.

“In a world without future, each parting of friends is a death. In a world without future, each loneliness is final. In a world without future, each laugh is the last laugh. In a world without future, beyond the present lies nothingness, and people cling to the present as if hanging from a cliff.” PeopleIfsWorldLastsLyingLaughingLonelinessFutureFinalsNothingnessCliffsParting Author:Alan Lightman
