“Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lesso…” — Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life.

The simple life on the farm was everything to me. Nothing was more relaxing after a long plane flight than to reach the winding driveway that led up to my house. The quiet of the night was more soothing than a sleeping pill.

The only incontrovertible fact of my work is the importance of life.

I didn't fully realize it at the time, but the goal of my life was profoundly molded by this experience - to help produce, in the next generation, more Mother Teresas and less Hitlers.
