1 " I felt a deep grief that crouched and stayed still as if it was afraid to move. "
― Iris Murdoch , The Sea, the Sea
2 " Men today cannot claim their identity via culture because they are obliged to find other uninitiated males as their models or succumb to the empty values of a materialistic society. Again, before healing may begin, men must acknowledge the reality of what lies within. Among those confusing emotions is a deep grief for the loss of the personal father as companion, model and support, and a deep hunger for the fathers as a source of wisdom, solace and inspiration. "
― James Hollis , Under Saturn's Shadow: The Wounding and Healing of Men
