• Paneloux is a man of learning, a scholar. He hasn't come in contact with death; that's why he can speak with such assurance of the truth-with a capital T. But every country priest who visits his parishioners and has heard a man gasping for breath on his deathbed thinks as I do. He'd try to relieve human suffering before trying to point out its goodness.

• Un buen sistema social no se consigue haciendo que la gente sea altruista, sino haciendo que sus propios impulsos vitales encajen con los de los demás. Esto es factible. Todos los que han producido filosofías estoicas han tenido suficiente para comer y beber. Siento que encontraré la verdad en mi lecho de muerte y que estaré rodeado de gente demasiado estúpida para entenderlo, preocupándose por las medicinas en lugar de buscar la sabiduría. Odio estar todo ordenado como un libro en una biblioteca donde nadie lee; la cárcel es horriblemente así.

• ¿Por qué no habríamos de experimentar angustia? A través de esas puertas, Dios nos abre caminos de comunión con su Hijo. La mayoría de nosotros nos derrumbamos al primer apretón de dolor. Nos sentamos en la puerta del propósito de Dios y entramos en una muerte lenta a través de la autocompasión. Y toda la supuesta simpatía cristiana de otros nos ayuda hasta nuestro lecho de muerte. Pero Dios no lo hará. Él viene con el apretón de la mano traspasada de Su Hijo, como si dijera: "Entra en comunión conmigo; levántate y resplandece". Si Dios puede lograr Sus propósitos en este mundo a través de un corazón quebrantado, entonces ¿por qué no agradecerle por quebrantar el tuyo?

• Mis pacientes VIP suelen arrepentirse de muchas cosas en su lecho de muerte. Lamentan la amargura que dejarán en el corazón de la gente. Se dan cuenta de que ningún dinero, ningún servicio religioso, ningún elogio, ningún cortejo fúnebre, por muy elaborado que sea, puede eliminar el legado de un espíritu mezquino.
