J. Sheridan Le Fanu
“At another time, or in another case, it might have excited my ridicule. But into what quackeries will not people rush for a last chance, where all accustomed means have failed, and the life of a beloved object is at stake?”
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

Atul Gawande
“Endings matter, not just for the person but, perhaps even more, for the ones left behind.”
Atul Gawande, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End
