Louis C.K.
“I have a lot of beliefs, and I live by none of them.”
Louis C.K.

John Burroughs
“Love sharpens the eye, the ear, the touch; it quickens the feet, it steadies the hand, it arms against the wet and the cold.
What we love to do, that we do well.
To know is not all; it is only half.
To love is the other half”
John Burroughs, Leaf and Tendril

Sherwin B. Nuland
“Human beings are capable of the kind of love and loyalty that transcends not only the physical debasement but even the spiritual weariness of the years of sorrow.”
Sherwin B. Nuland, How We Die: Reflections of Life's Final Chapter

Paul Kalanithi
“There is a moment, a cusp, when the sum of gathered experience is worn down by the details of living. We are never so wise as when we live in this moment.”
Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

Sherwin B. Nuland
“The lesson is never learned—there will always be those who persist in seeking the Fountain of Youth, or at least delaying what is irrevocably ordained.”
Sherwin B. Nuland, How We Die: Reflections of Life's Final Chapter
