Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another

After you have wept and grieved for your physical losses, cherish the functions and the life you have left.

I believe in being fully present. That means you should be with the person you’re with.

Well, the truth is, if you really listen to that bird on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time–then you might not be as ambitious as you are.

All younger people should know something. If you’re always battling against getting older, you’re always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow.

Grieve and mourn for yourself not once or twice, but again and again.

Dying is only one thing to be sad over... Living unhappily is something else.
