Irvin D. Yalom
Quotes
- Despair is the price one pays for self-awareness. Look deeply into life, and you'll always find despair.
- It is wrong to bear children out of need, wrong to use a child to alleviate loneliness, wrong to provide purpose in life by reproducing another copy of oneself. It is wrong also to seek immortality by spewing one's germ into the future as though sperm contains your consciousness!
- The spirit of a man is constructed out of his choices.
