“Part of me is made of glass, and also, I love you.”

"You'll never write well if you fear dying, do you?"

"Yeah, I do, it's probably my greatest fear, actually."

"Well it's something all men before you have done, all men will do"

"I know...I know...'

"Have you ever made love to a truly great woman?"

"Actually my fiance is pretty sexy."

"...and when you make love to her you feel true and beautiful passion and you, for at least that moment, lose your fear of death?"

"Well no... that never happens"

"I believe that love that is true and real creates a rest pit from death. All cowardice comes from not loving or not loving well, which is the same thing. And when a man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face, like some rhino hunters I know, or Belmonte who is truly brave, it is because they love with sufficent passion to push death out of their minds. Until it returns as it does to all men. And then you must make really good love again. Think about it."

The night all of my dreams came true, and like all happy endings,It was a tragedy, Of my device, for I succeeded.

"All men fear death. It’s a natural fear that consumes us all. We fear death because we feel that we haven’t loved well enough or loved at all, which ultimately are one in the same. However, when you make love with a truly great woman, one that deserves the utmost respect in this world and one that makes you feel truly powerful, that fear of death completely disappears. Because when you are sharing your body and heart with a great woman the world fades away. You two are the only ones in the entire universe. You conquer what most lesser men have never conquered before, you have conquered a great woman’s heart, the most vulnerable thing she can offer to another. Death no longer lingers in the mind. Fear no longer clouds your heart. Only passion for living, and for loving, become your sole reality. This is no easy task for it takes insurmountable courage. But remember this, for that moment when you are making love with a woman of true greatness you will feel immortal."
