I usually try to restrain my quotomaniac tendencies, but I feel like sharing this one tonight. I found it in one of my less-moronic self-help books- (I think they're helping! Really! I no longer drool in public and I wore matching socks every day this week !Of course, they were the same pair...but it still counts)

Anyway- here it is:

"The greatest danger, that of losing one's own self, can pass off as quietly as if it were nothing.
Every other loss- that of an arm, a leg, a wife, five dollars- is sure to be noticed"

Soren Kierkegaard(I don't know how to reproduce the little slash mark he decorated his 'o'with, but I don't really approve of that anyway.)
