%C3%A9mile Durkheim/death

Famous quotes containing the words durkheim and/or death:

    Man could not live if he were entirely impervious to sadness. Many sorrows can be endured only by being embraced, and the pleasure taken in them naturally has a somewhat melancholy character. So, melancholy is morbid only when it occupies too much place in life; but it is equally morbid for it to be wholly excluded from life.
    —Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

    Life without a friend is death without a witness.
    Spanish proverb.
