“Acceptance of death when it arrives is one thing, but to allow it to upstage the joys of living is ingratitude.”
“When death comes you do not stay for one minute in the place it has visited. Many things arrive after death-sadness, questions, and policemen- and none of these can be answered when your papers are not in order.”
“Living does mean accepting the loss of one joy after another, not even joys in her case, mere possibilities of improvement.”
“It is the acceptance of death that has finally allowed me to choose life.”
“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.”
“Love changes things; hope allows us to endure until the change arrives.”
