Book Description
'You're 82 years old. You've shrunk six centimetres, you only weigh 45 kilos yet you're still beautiful, graceful and desirable' – so begins André Gorz's 'open love letter' to the woman he has lived with for 58 years and who lies dying next to him. As one of France's leading post-war philosophers, André Gorz wrote many influential books, but nothing he wrote will be read as widely or remembered as long as this simple, passionate, beautiful letter to his dying wife. In a bittersweet postscript a year after Letter to D was published, a note pinned to the door for the cleaning lady marked the final chapter in an extraordinary love story. André Gorz and his terminally ill wife, Dorine, were found lying peacefully side by side, having taken their lives together. They simply could not live without one another. An international bestseller, Letter to D is the ultimate love story – and all the more poignant because it's true.

Book Description
BEUATIFUL WORDS TO PONDER The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and they are life. ~ Jesus of Nazareth ~ Though little, the master word looms large in meaning. It is the open sesame to every portal, the great equalizer, the philosophers stone which transmutes all base metal of humanity in gold. The stupid it will make bright, the bright brilliant, and the brilliant steady .. The master word is WORK. ~ William Osler ~ We live in a changing world, but only in an external sense. Environment and mental processes change, but there is something deep in the heart of man that defies the touch of time, a place where changes seldom come, if at all. There are to be found from age to age about the same hopes, fears, temptations, desires and motives; the same struggles with life and death, sin and shame, tragedy and grief, adversity and misfortune; the same eternal quests for God, truth, goodness and immortality. ~ Cordie J. Culp ~ Man, in his changing world, struggles to understand the unchanging God. Man would struggle less if he read the Bible more. Man has always been in the heart of God. The worlds task is to bring God into the heart of man. ~ Joseph M. Waterman ~ In time of quietness we have a chance to rest, an opportunity to evaluate life more properly, to develop a sympathy for others. We learn that the whole world can keep going without us and that gives us a wholesome sense of humility ~ Charles Allen ~.
