William Thornton - Later Life

Famous quotes containing the word life:

“The dignity to be sought in death is the appreciation by others of what one has been in life,... that proceeds from a life well lived and from the acceptance of one’s own death as a necessary process of nature.... It is also the recognition that the real event taking place at the end of our life is our death, not the attempts to prevent it.”
—Sherwin B. Nuland (b. 1930)

“We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.”
—William James (1842–1910)
