I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear.

I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path.

I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state.

What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter.

You can't say it wasn't interesting.

My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip.

I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris
