  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    Whether my mortality caught me at twenty-eight or ninety-three, I made the choice to die content, slipped into the nothingness, my atoms becoming the very fog that cloaked the trees. The silence of death, of the cemetery, was no punishment, but a reward for a life well lived.
  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    The last thing preventing me from accepting death was, ironically, my desire to help people accept death.
  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    The earth is expertly designed to take back what it has created.
  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    Each of us is responsible for seeking out new knowledge and creating new mental circuits.
  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    A culture that denies death is a barrier to achieving a good death.
  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    But rational interaction, that ends with you realizing that you will survive the worst, whatever the worst may be. Accepting death doesn’t mean that you won’t be devastated when someone you love dies. It means you will be able to focus on your grief, unburdened by bigger existential questions like “Why do people die?” and “Why is this happening to me?” Death isn’t happening to you. Death is happening to us all.
  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    The great achievements of humanity were born out of the deadlines imposed by death.
  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    “The meaning of life is that it ends.”
  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    Because this ever-growing geriatric army reminds us of our own mortality, we push them into the shadows.
  • Maria Araújofez uma citaçãoano passado
    Before her mind was blunted, she had insisted, “For heaven’s sake, don’t let me ever get like that,” yet there she was, stuck in that depressing place between life and death.
