Irvin D. Yalom Quotes

Whether I Will Live A Long Time Or A Short Time, I'm Alive Now, At This Moment. What I Want Is To Know That There Are Other Things To Hope For Besides Length Of Life. What I Want To Know Is That It Isn't Necessary To Turn Away From Thoughts Of Suffering Or Death But Neither Is It Necessary To Give These Thoughts Too Much Time And Space. What I Want Is To Be Intimate With The Knowledge That Life Is Temporary. And Then, In The Light (or Shadow) Of That Knowledge, To Know How To Live. How To Live Now.
