Morrie Schwartz
If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all.
Morrie Schwartz
In the beginning of life, when we are infants, we need others to survive. And at the end of life, we need others to survive. But here's the secret, in between, we need others as well.
Morrie Schwartz
Once you learn how to die you learn how to live.
