The only life (F. Buechner)



  And now, brothers, I will ask you a terrible question, and God knows I ask it also of myself.  Is the truth beyond all truths, beyond the stars, just this:  that to live without him is the real death, that to die with him the only life?

--Frederick Buechner, 
The Magnificent Defeat
