There are many kinds of loss embedded in a loss - the loss of the person, and the loss of the self you got to be with that person. and the seeming loss of the past, which now feels forever out of reach.

More From Meghan O'Rourke

The past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. the past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the future is, in all things, our friend. in the past is no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. the past is the text-book of tyrants; the future is the bible of the free. those who are solely governed by the past stand like lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.

In our true blissful essence of mind is known that everything is alright forever and forever and forever...listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world, and you will remember the lesson you forgot, it is all one vast awakened thing. we were never really born, we will never really die. it has nothing to do with the imaginary idea of a personal self, other selves, many selves everywhere: self is only an idea, a mortal idea. that which passes into everything is one thing. it's a dream already ended.

...to be a poet, requires a mythology of the self. the self described is the poet self, to which the daily self (and others) are often ruthlessly sacrificed. the poet self is the real self, the other one is the carrier; and when the poet self dies, the person dies.

It was the easiest thing in the world for arya to step up behind him and stab him. “is there gold hidden in the village?” she shouted as she drove the blade up through his back. “is there silver? gems?” she stabbed twice more. “is there food? where is lord beric?” she was on top of him by then, still stabbing. “where did he go? how many men were with him? how many knights? how many bowmen? how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many? is there gold in the village?

I waited just to see you at that kind of peace, i wanted to be beside you, i wanted you to wake up slowly or startle, or just half awaken and turn over or murmur my name. i wanted to watch you forever, or sleep beside you forever, or sleep forever while you woke and watched me, something forever anyway. i wanted to kiss you, rumple your hair, rest three fingertips on your hip bone warm and smooth, wake you that way or hush you back to sleep.

Happiness is your real nature. you identify with yourself with the body and mind, feel it's limitations, and suffer. realize your true self in order to open the store of happiness. that true self is the reality, the supreme truth, which is the self of all the world you now see, the self of all the selves, the one real, the supreme, the eternal self - as distinct from the ego or the bodily idea for the self.

In every community there are little knots of fantastic extremists who loudly proclaim that they are striving for righteousness, and who, in reality, do their feeble best for unrighteousness. just as the upright politician should hold in peculiar scorn the man who makes the name of politician a reproach and a shame, so the genuine reformer should realize that the cause he champions is especially jeopardized by the mock reformer who does what he can to make reform a laughingstock among decent men.

I never wanted to grow a thicker skin; i felt a real sense of pride in my thin skin, and in a weird way, i still do, because it's my thin skin that allows me to empathize with other people. it's the thing that allows me to create vulnerable art. it's the thing that allows me to create other feelings and make songs that actually grab people and touch people. i feel like i've spent my life fighting that thicker skin because i don't want to become an embittered asshole.
