“If he doesn’t know he is about to die, how can your patient make a decision about how to die?” “How to die, Professor Nietzsche?” “Yes, he must decide how to face death: to talk to others, to give advice, to say the things he has been saving to say before his death, to take his leave of others, or to be alone, to weep, to defy death, to curse it, to be thankful to it.”
