“The tricky part of illness is that, as you go through it, your values are constantly changing. You try to figure out what matters to you, and then you keep figuring it out. It felt like someone had taken away my credit card and I was having to learn how to budget. You may decide you want to spend your time working as a neurosurgeon, but two months later, you may feel differently. Two months after that, you may want to learn to play the saxophone or devote yourself to the church. Death may be a one-time event, but living with terminal illness is a process.”

“There are no books in this world that everybody must read, but only books that a person must read at a certain time in a given place under given circumstances and at a given period of his life.”

“Nếu muốn học "thấy" hãy "bịt mắt lại mà tưởng tượng trước bằng một viễn tượng trong tâm hồn"; nếu muốn học "nghe" hãy "bịt tai lại"; nếu muốn học cách "đọc sách" hãy xếp sách lại mà phỏng đoán trước những gì ta sắp đọc"... đó là để mà lóng nghe cái tiếng dội của tâm hồn. Platon nói rất sâu sắc (...). Hiểu biết, thực ra là một sự nhận ra những gì ta đã biết. Nghĩa là, cái thật biết là cái biết do mình đã tìm ra. Ta chỉ thấy được những gì ta đã thấy. Ta chỉ thích được những gì ta đã thích.”
