Finished: May 2021
Inspiring and then profoundly heartbreaking. Ended in tears. Paul Kalanithi is a superhero.
"You can't ever reach perfection, but you can believe in an asymptote towards which you are ceaselessly striving."
"When you come to one of the many moments in life where you must give an account of yourself,
provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray,
discount that you filled a dying man's days with sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years,
a joy that does not hunger for more and more but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing."
