| Quote of the moment |
| If there is an absurd, it is in man's universe. The moment the notion transforms itself into eternity's springboard, it ceases to be linked to human lucidity. The absurd is no longer that evidence that man ascertains without consenting to it. The struggle is eluded. Man integrates the absurd and in that communion causes to disappear its essential character, which is opposition, laceration, and divorce. This leap is an escape. |

| Quote of the moment |
| If a patient is a believer, terminal illness can be a stepping-stone for personal growth by following one's beliefs. If one is a nonbeliever, then friends need to show a compassionate attitude as far as possible, and share one's problems. |
