• When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influences and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror.

    John Steinbeck: When a man comes to die,
 no matter what his talents and influences and genius,
 if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him
 and his dying a cold horror.
