I can't find the exact quote that Woody Allen's Hemingway uses when he talks about fear of death and loving a good woman but I can try to summarize:

"When you make love to a good woman you lose your fear of death, even if it's just for a moment. Then after the only thing to do is to make love again"

I still don't believe I'll ever find love the way I've read about in books but I will continue to chase every charmer I come across for just a few moments of blissful existential physical ecstasy that make me forget what haunts me
