“In one book I read about death that it's like when you're a child playing outside in the snow, and your mother watches you through the window, and then she calls you. You've just been out playing for long enough, and it's time to go home. You've tumbled about in the snowdrifts, you're wet, your felt boots are full of snow. You'd like to go on and on playing, but it's time. And it's no good trying to argue. You're stubborn, and that's really great. There's only a little handful of you left, and you're still clinging on to life. You don't want to go.”
