Quote by The Moth

“Somebody once told me, and I wish to God that I had got it sooner, that there is no such thing as a dying person; there are living people and there are dead people. And as long as somebody is alive- as long as they have any sentience or sense about them- you have to expect and allow them to be who they have always been. Never more important than at the end of somebody's life that they get to be who they are and who they always were.”

“Some people show kindness and humanity when they are losing or when their plans have failed. Their loss or defeat brings out their humanity. But when they are winning, they become rude, cruel, and heartless—showing no compassion, no care, no empathy, and no love.”
