“This autumn I Iearned from experience that a man can cross the threshold of death even when his body is still not dead. Your blood still circulates and your stomach digests, while you yourself have gone through the whole psychological preparation for death-and lived through death itself. Everything around you, you see as if in the grave. And although you have never counted yourself a Christian, indeed the very opposite sometimes, all of a sudden you’ve forgiven all those that trespassed against you and bear no ill-will towards those that persecuted you.”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, “The Cancer Ward”, 1968.
