"When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly."
This is from The Four Men, one of Belloc's greatest books, and is spoken by Grizzlebeard. His quote continues: "It is an air in which men perish utterly. Absolute dereliction is the death of the soul; and the end of living is a great love abandoned."
