Death Quote by Jan Siegel
““And she knew she was not sure, she would never be sure, because uncertainty is the essence of the human condition, and death is the one barrier beyond which we cannot see. There is no hope but faith, no knowledge but the acceptance of ignorance. Yet still she hoped that one day she would know.””
