Book cover for Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End
Death, of course, is not a failure. Death is normal. Death may be the enemy, but it is also the natural order of things.

Elif Batuman
“I found myself remembering the day in kindergarten when the teachers showed us Dumbo, and I realized for the first time that all the kids in the class, even the bullies, rooted for Dumbo, against Dumbo's tormentors. Invariably they laughed and cheered, both when Dumbo succeeded and when bad things happened to his enemies. But they're you, I thought to myself. How did they not know? They didn't know. It was astounding, an astounding truth. Everyone thought they were Dumbo.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Lyudmila Ulitskaya
“...Милая моя жена! Ошибка в Библии - не из ребра Адама сотворена была Ева, а из сердца вырезана. Я физически чуствую это место в сердце.”
Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Лестница Якова

Magda Szabó
“It was the voice of someone emerging from anesthesia, speaking with the exaggerated precision of a wondering mind striving for clarity.”
Magda Szabó, The Door

Jeff Goodell
“Will we welcome people who flee submerged coastlines and sinking islands—or will we imprison them?”
Jeff Goodell, The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World

“This is the only advice I can offer. Each time something like this happens, take a breath and ask yourself, honestly: Am I dead? Did I die? Is the world different? Has my soul splintered into a thousand shards and scattered to the winds? I think you’ll find, in nearly every case, that you are fine. Life rolls on. No one cares. Very few things—apart from death and crime—have real, irreversible stakes, and when something with real stakes happens, humiliation is the least of your worries.”
Lindy West, Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman
