“Sometimes I think the purpose of life is to reconcile us to its eventual loss by wearing us down, by proving, however long it takes, that life isn't all it's cracked up to be.”
― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

“Life wasn’t about avoiding suffering.”
― Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

“Most people imagine that a man suffers because out of the blue, Death snatches away the woman he loves. But his real suffering is less futile; it comes from the discovery that grief, too, cannot last. Even grief is vanity!”
― Albert Camus, Caligula

“even if I’m dying, until I actually die, I am still living.”
― Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air
