What they said


"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." Abraham Lincoln

"Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die." Amelia Burr

"How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light." Barry Lopez

"Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live." Dorothy Thompson
