When I was young, my father used to say, ‘If you are alive, there is hope for a better day and something good to happen. If there is nothing good left in the destiny of a person, he or she will die.’ I thought about these words during my journey, and they kept me moving even when I didn’t know where I was going.

Race & Democracy: The Civil Rights Struggle in Louisiana, 1915-1972, University of Georgia Press ( Lillian Smith Book Award winner, 1995) When you have such a good workout, it clears everything up mentally, physically, and you just have a better day.” What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone? How else can we put ourselves in harmonious relation with the great verities and consolations of the infinite and the eternal? Throughout his narrative, Fairclough conveys at once the grave injustices of segregation, the difficulties in fighting it, and the humanity of its victims. And because Fairclough is appropriately selective in the details he chooses to present, the reader is able to retain the big picture of the struggle’s progress as he moves chronologically through the book. Pause and remember nothing lasts forever. Better days are coming, but they will come faster with faith.”Every day is different, and some days are better than others, but no matter how challenging the day, I get up and live it.” When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

Writing isn’t brain surgery, but it’s rare when someone adept at the latter is also so accomplished at the former. Searching for meaning and purpose in his life, Kalanithi pursued a doctorate in literature and had felt certain that he wouldn’t enter the field of medicine, in which his father and other members of his family excelled. “But I couldn’t let go of the question,” he writes, after realizing that his goals “didn’t quite fit in an English department.” “Where did biology, morality, literature and philosophy intersect?” So he decided to set aside his doctoral dissertation and belatedly prepare for medical school, which “would allow me a chance to find answers that are not in books, to find a different sort of sublime, to forge relationships with the suffering, and to keep following the question of what makes human life meaningful, even in the face of death and decay.” The author’s empathy undoubtedly made him an exceptional doctor, and the precision of his prose—as well as the moral purpose underscoring it—suggests that he could have written a good book on any subject he chose. Part of what makes this book so essential is the fact that it was written under a death sentence following the diagnosis that upended his life, just as he was preparing to end his residency and attract offers at the top of his profession. Kalanithi learned he might have 10 years to live or perhaps five. Should he return to neurosurgery (he could and did), or should he write (he also did)? Should he and his wife have a baby? They did, eight months before he died, which was less than two years after the original diagnosis. “The fact of death is unsettling,” he understates. “Yet there is no other way to live.” Buying flowers is not just a way to bring home beauty. It's an expression of confidence that better days are coming. It's a defiant finger in the face of those naysayers who would have you believe your fortunes will never improve.”Kerr explained his refusal, for two years, to obey the segregation law: “As an individual, I am entitled to the protection of the Fourteenth Amendment.” The very second you begin to doubt is the minute you lose sight of your outcome. Even in our darkest hour, will we find better days. Don't let the years pass, reflecting the light that becomes your shadow.” Even when bad things happen you have to try to use those bad things in a positive manner and really just take the positive out of it.” Those who don't know how to suffer are the worst off. There are times when the only correct thing we can do is to bear out troubles until a better day.”
