Quotation of the Day for July 6, 2011"He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved, sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes, and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has shared much good or evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty, to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless, till it is driven by external causes into a new channel. But the time of suspense is dreadful." - Samuel Johnson, from a letter to Dr. Thomas Lawrence, whose wife had recently died. Submitted by: Terry Labach May 13, 2011  |
