Quote by Simone de Beauvoir

“ولكن عندما عدت إلى البيت، انهار حزن ورعب الأيام الماضية فوق كتفي بكل ثقله. فقد كان بداخلي أنا أيضا سرطانا ينهش داخلي-الندم. "لا تدعوهم يجرون لها العملية". ولم أمنع أي شىء. كثيرا ما كانت لا مبالاة أقارب المرضي الذين يقاسون عذاب الاحتضار تثير سخطي. "لو كان الأمر بيدي، لقتلته". وفي أول اختبار استسلمت: تنكرت لقيمي بعد أن غلبتني اخلاقيات المجتمع. "لا،" أخبرني سارتر. "غلبك الفكر العلمي: وقد كان ذلك قاتلا". وبالفعل قد كان. فكل منا يدور في رُحى الأطباء مجبرا، مغلوبا أمام تشخيصاتهم وتنبوءاتهم وقراراتهم. يصبح المريض ملكا خاصا بهم: أيمكنك الهروب به منهم؟ في تلك الأربعاء، لم يكن هناك سوى خياران: إجراء العملية أو القتل الرحيم.”

“It’s okay to complain It doesn’t weaken you It softens you first around the mouth then the eyes That first breath is a thank you without airs You’ll swallow and it’ll go into your belly And your hands will clasp your throat but it’ll be too late because once it hits the blood your heart will have it and it’s okay there Mortally you will feel how it is to be whole and in ruins There you are Scream Roll in the aisles Cry Another breath Breeeeeeeeeeeeeathe And complain again you human Your wildness will die before you and it does not need permission to leave or forgiveness for leaving This is how you let us know you don’t want to be here any more than we want you here”

“It's the roaring that makes you hear the stillness in your head louder. I imagine that when I die it's gonna be like that. There's gonna come a big, white sound, like spring rapids or avalanche, and it's gonna sweep me up into it, but it ain't gonna carry me away, no. No, it's gonna make me a part of it. In that moment, when I'm dying for good, I'm gonna be that white water. I'm gonna be that avalanche. Yes, I will. I know how it's going to be. Those last few moments I'm alive, I'm gonna dive down deep into that roaring and I'm gonna swim through until I find the stillness at the raging heart of it.”
