Quotes
-
[Dr. Lawrence comes face-to-face with his Alzhiemer's diagnosis]
Dr. Gabe Lawrence : I was thinking of committing suicide, but I wasn't sure when I should do it. If I did it too early, I'd miss out on what little life I had left. If I waited too long, I wouldn't remember to do it.

Dr. Gabe Lawrence : When despair for the world grows in me, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great herring feeds. I come into the peace of wild things, who do not tax there lives with fore thought of grief. I come into the presence of still water and feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with there light. and for a time I rest in the peace of the world and I'm free.
Dr. Gabe Lawrence : How can I remember a William Blake I memorized over 30 years ago.
