Quote by Alice Sebold

Heaven is comfort, but it's still not living.

Heaven is comfort, but it's still not living.

Summary

This quote suggests that while heaven may offer a sense of comfort or solace, it does not provide the same experience as living a human life on Earth. It implies that true living involves more than just being in a state of ultimate bliss or tranquility. Life entails challenges, growth, relationships, and the full range of human experiences, which cannot be found in a state of eternal comfort. Thus, the quote highlights the importance of embracing and fully experiencing life in all its complexity, rather than seeking solely for comfort or escape from worldly struggles.

Ashamed of the many frailties they feel within, all men endeavor to hide themselves, their ugly nakedness, from each other, and wrapping up the true motives of their hearts in the specious cloak of sociableness, and their concern for the public good, they are in hopes of concealing their filthy appetites and the deformity of their desires.

Men! She could not understand why so many women feared them. Hadn't the gods made them with the most vurnerable part of their guts hanging right out of their bodies, like a misplaced bit of bowel? Kick them there and they curled up like snails. Caress them there and their brains melted.
