“The culture doesn't encourage you to think about such things until you're about to die. We're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks -we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I wanted? Is something missing?”
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie

“Do we still exist if the last person who remembers us as children has passed away?”

― Lynda Mullaly Hunt, Fish in a Tree

“How can you ever be prepared to die?
"Do what the Buddhists do. Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?”
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie
