Virginia WoolfAre we so made that we have to take death in small doses daily or we could not go on with the business of living?
About This Quote
It’s a very common question – “Do we have to take death in small doses daily so we could not go on with the business of living?”. The answer is yes and no. Yes, we have to take death in small doses because life without death would not be possible. No, we do not have to take death in small doses because it is inevitable that death will come. In fact, some people prefer not to think about it all the time as they cannot confront its reality as life goes on day by day.
