Anna Quindlen
“I think every fear you ever have, every one -- thunder or spiders or roller coasters -- they're all fear of dying. Every last one.”
Anna Quindlen, Every Last One

“That is what I wish for all of us: a life that feels like the miracles it is and a death that serves as a period on a satisfying sentence. Because we live, we get to die. That is a gift.”
Alua Arthur, Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End
