There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, only survival, the only meaning - Thornton Wilder

We ourselves shall be loved for awhile and forgotten. But the love will have been enough; all those impulses
of love return to the love that made them. Even memory is not necessary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.
