The epilogue written by his wife is going to kill me

Not the message to his daughter oh my god💔

The beautify of human relationships being integral for the growth of human knowledge

Cancer really is all consuming, in body, mind, and spirit

“… I become an invalid”
The stark lack of sense of person in the face of disease is so startling

“What kind of life exists without language?”
The true intersect of medicine and English

So many parts of this book are just leaving me speechless

“What makes life meaningful enough to go on living?”
I mean damn. The intersection of medicine and philosophy in this book is truly breathtaking

The way kalanithi articulates his thoughts is so beautiful

What makes life meaningful even in the face of death and decay?
