Quotes by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

“Unless we can recognize and own the fact that
within every one of us there is one who is capable, has
the potential, given a certain circumstance, to take food out of a starving babies mouth.  I witnessed that from good people,
decent people, loving people. They got so desperate
and they were in such dire straits that they did that.  We will never be enlightened unless we
realize and own what our capacity, from the best of the best to the worst of
the worst because then we have more empathy, more
compassion, more sympathy for others who do things
that are hurtful and harmful and we see, given certain
situations, I’m capable of that myself. So, I’m less
judgmental.”

It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it were the only one we had.

People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun's out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light within.
