I hope to enjoy however many days I have on this beautiful Earth and spend as much of it outside as I can surrounded by those I love.

Having the choice at the end of my life has become incredibly important. It has given me a sense of peace during a time that otherwise would be dominated by fear, uncertainty and pain.

There is a difference between a person who is dying and a person who is suicidal. I do not want to die. I am dying.

Americans around the country who came forward to make my 'bucket list' dream come true.

To have control of my own mind... to go with dignity is less terryfying. When I look at both options I have to die, I feel this is far more humane.

The reason to consider life and what's of value is to make sure you're not missing out. Seize the day. What's important to you? What do you care about? What matters? Pursue that. Forget the rest.

I believe this choice is ethical, and what makes it ethical is it is a choice.

If you ever find yourself walking a mile in my shoes, I hope that you would be at least be given the same choice.

CPR dummy looked like him and had clearly been stabbed. Repeatedly. In the groin. He thought she might have used the dummy for target practice, and tried not to be offended. Key word: tried.

Don't give up on something just because you think you can't do it.

'Fox News' will one day come to an end. Led Zeppelin will not. It's as simple as that.

My mouth is full of decayed teeth and my soul of decayed ambitions.

I sort of feel like that's the most revolutionary thing we can do with our narrative for me as Black people is to show that we are just like you.
