Alan Eppel quotations from Sweet Sorrow:


All of us seek to understand the meaning of life, especially the meaning of our own lives (introduction).

It is the interplay of love and loss that lies at the epicentre of the human story (introduction).

The human infant commences life with an unwelcome propulsion from its mother's womb. (p.1).

Perhaps more than anything else in this world, we all long for love: more than money, more than power, more even than sex. (p.11).

It is in these same neurocircuits that Freud's death instinct may lurk. (p.72).
