“The extra years that had been returned to me were too terrifying to be beautiful and too precious to be ordinary.”
― Sebastian Junger, In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife

“The past and the future have no tangible reality in our universe; ...creation exists moment by moment or not at all, and our only chance at immortality might lie in experiencing each of those moments as the stunning extravagance they actually are.”
― Sebastian Junger, In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife

“I reach the sad conclusion that at my age (older but not old), I will never learn to speak French, not even poorly. I will never climb Mt Everest or star in a Broadway play or en an off-off-Broadway one. I will never spelunk. A stanza from a poem by Donald Justice comes to mind: Men at forty/Learn to close softly/the doors to rooms they will not be/Coming back to. I am well past forty, and the doors are slamming shut so rapidly I am beginning to feel trapped.”
― Eric Weiner, Ben & Me: In Search of a Founder's Formula for a Long and Useful Life

“Dying, I realize, is nothing more or less than the ultimate test of trust. Do you trust in - call it what you like, God, the universe, nature, science - or do you not? It is that simple, though not at all easy.”
