“I don’t know if it’s possible ever really to accept it. You can think you have accepted it, and then all of a sudden something sneaks up from behind, and you realize you haven’t accepted it at all. I think that anybody who loves live can’t accept the prospect of dying. And I think in the end you probably can.”

—Kay, lung cancer victim
