“I think I am in my last days, but it doesn't really matter because I have had such a beautiful life. I have lived through many wars and have lost everything many times - including my husband, my mother and my beloved son. Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy. I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate. Life is beautiful, love is beautiful, nature and music are beautiful. Everything we experience is a gift, a present we should cherish and pass on to those we love.” ThinkingShouldWarMatterLastsBeautifulLife IsMotherHateLostEnjoySpaceLove IsSonHusbandIncludingBelovedMy HusbandCherishPessimismBeautiful LifeLast DayThose We LoveLife Is BeautifulLost EverythingBeautiful LoveBeautiful NatureHate LifeBeloved Son Author:Alice Herz-Sommer
