Death by E. Kubler-Ross. Quotes

-For many years I continued to ask terminal patients to be our teachers.
-The meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day, and from hour to hour. What matters therefore is not the meaning of life in general, but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.
-I think Susan lived more in the last few months of her life than the 71 year old woman did in seven decades.
-We can only truly live, and enjoy, and appreciate life if we realize at all times that we are finite.
-In the decades to come we may see one universe, one humankind, one religion that unites us all in a peaceful world. It is up to each of you to lay the groundwork for this future generation, by making an attempt NOW to comprehend and care for your fellow humans, no matter what their creed, color, or philosophy. Through understanding that in the end we all share the same destiny, that just as surely as we are alive, so we will die, we may come also to understand that in life also we must be as one, aware of the appreciative of our differences and yet accepting in our humanness , we are all alike.
-It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar.
