About This Quote
How could a person have and do all these stupid things--clip coupons and double lock the front door--and then one day just cease to exist? is a question that most of us have asked ourselves at one point or another. There are some truly extraordinary people who leave this world without warning. Others, on the other hand, seem to be quite ill with cancer only to suddenly pass away. How could people like this be so ill with cancer? Is there something about their lifestyle that causes this illness? What is the secret behind their sudden death?
