Quote by Raymond Radiguet
Facing death calmly is praiseworthy only if one faces it alone. Death together is no longer death, even for unbelievers. The source of sorrows lies not in leaving life, but in leaving that which gives it meaning. When love is our whole life, what difference is there between living together and dying together ?
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of companionship and love in facing death. It suggests that facing death alone may be commendable, but facing death together with a loved one diminishes the fear and sorrow associated with it, even for those who do not believe in an afterlife. The quote also suggests that the true source of sadness lies not in leaving life itself, but in leaving behind the relationships and connections that bring meaning to our lives. If love encompasses our entire existence, then the difference between living together and dying together becomes negligible.
