“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is wasted in heedless luxury and spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death’s final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we knew it was passing. So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it… Life is long if you know how to use it.”

“Say I was divorced, or living alone, or had no children. This disease—what I’m going
through—would be so much harder. I’m not sure I could do it. Sure, people would come
visit, friends, associates, but it’s not the same as having someone who will not leave. It’s
not the same as having someone whom you know has an eye on you, is watching you
the whole time.
“This is part of what a family is about, not just love, but letting others know there’s
someone who is watching out for them. It’s what I missed so much when my mother
died—what I call your ‘spiritual security’—knowing that your family will be there watching
out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame.”
