Death by E. Kubler-Ross. Quotes X

-Humankind will survive only through the commitment and involvement of individuals in the own and others' growth and development as human beings.
-Through commitment to personal growth individual human beings will also make their contribution to the growth and development of the whole species to become all that humankind can and is meant to be.
-You must give up everything in order to gain everything. What must you give up? All that is not truly you. You can be yourself only if you are no one else. You must give up their approval, whoever they are, and look to yourself for evaluation of success and failure, in terms of your own level of aspiration that is consistent with your values. Nothing is simpler and nothing is more difficult.
-When we know and understand completely that our time on this earth is limited, and that we have no way of knowing it will be over, then we must live each day as if it were the only one we had.
-There is no total death. Only the body dies. The self or spirit, or whatever you may wish to label it, is eternal.
