I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death.
All cowardice comes from not loving or not loving well, which is the same thing.
And when the man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face, like some rhino hunter’s i know, or like belmonte who is truly brave, it is because they love with sufficient passion to push death out of their minds.

WRECKED.
Richard Feynman: Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.
Jonathan Schaffer: It is likely that ornithological knowledge would be of great benefit to birds, were it possible for them to possess it.
