"If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster." - Isaac Asimov

Famous quotations can provoke powerful messages and thought. As individuals, we can read the same quotes but give to it totally unique meanings. This quote means to me -- that if I was to find out that my cancer recurred, I would still need to carry on, hold my head up and keep going. Live life to the fullest.

I started to think about what the author of this quote was saying about himself. I wondered what it meant in his own life. Issac was a science fiction writer who died in 1992. I think that maybe since he was a writer, upon learning of his death, would want to tell more stories, finish ones he already started or just get all of him that he could into this life as a legacy for him to leave behind. I couldn't know what was really in Issac's mind and I can't know whats in yours but many times we can read these messages and connect with them.

I do know that sometimes reading quotes -- is like poetry to me.
