Thornton Wilder Quotes
The Type Of The Inevitable Is Death. I Remember Well That In My Youth I Believed That I Was Certainly Exempt From Its Operation. First When My Daughter Died, Next When You Were Wounded, I Knew That I Was Mortal; And Now I Regard Those Years As Wasted, As Unproductive, In Which I Was Not Aware That My Death Was Certain, Nay, Momently Possible. I Can Now Appraise At A Glance Those Who Have Not Yet Foreseen Their Death. I Know Them For The Children They Are. They Think That By Evading Its Contemplation They Are Enhancing The Savor Of Life. The Reverse Is True: Only Those Who Have Grasped Their Non-being Are Capable Of Praising The Sunlight.
