Those dreams are carried by the families of those astronauts who, even in grief, have urged that America go on with our space program,

We have to make America the best place in the world to do business.

I have to believe I am probably the most prominent, most thoroughly analyzed heart patient in America today,

Grief causes you to leave yourself. You step outside your narrow little pelt. And you can’t feel grief unless you’ve had love before it - grief is the final outcome of love, because it’s love lost. […] It’s the cycle of love completed: to love, to lose, to feel grief, to leave, and then to love again. Grief is the awareness that you will have to be alone, and there is nothing beyond that because being alone is the ultimate final destiny of each individual living creature. That’s what death is, the great loneliness.
