when sartre said “hell is other people” he failed to mention that heaven is also other people

Sartre said in 1971, “But that’s only that side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other.’ … Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven, on the other hand, is very simple—and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.”

“Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life.”

– Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

“If you’re going to leave me, let it be in one single strike. Fast and devastating, but never as painful as your usual gentleness. Because this is capable of confusing my senses, and nothing can be crueler than believing that under other circumstances you would stay.”
