Death Quote by Nina Sankovitch
““The truth of living is proved not by the inevitability of death but by the wonder that we lived at all. Remembering lives from the past ratifies that truth, more and more so the older we get. When I was growing up, my father told me once, "Do by look for happiness; life itself is happiness." It took me years to understand what he meant. The value of a life lived; the sheer value of living.””

Life’s worth is shown not by death’s certainty but by appreciating existence and learning from past lives; happiness is found in living itself, not in chasing it.
