"It takes the whole of life to learn how to live, and - even more surprising - it takes the whole of life to learn how to die."

Previous Quote

Self-awareness is a supreme gift, a treasure as precious as life. This is what makes us human. But it comes with a costly price: the wound of mortality. Our existence is forever shadowed by the knowledge that we will grow, blossom, and, inevitably, diminish and die.

— Irvin D. Yalom
