All the theories and science in the world could not help anyone as much as one human unafraid to open his heart to another. P.144
In fact, I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than love. P.192

Well......i have to say that this book, especially the 2nd half of it, is just filled with grandiosity ideas and nonsense! After reading those, I really wonder if E. Kuebler-Ross was psychotic at the later stage of her life.........as she said in the book that she had talked to Jesus, experienced out-of-body experience, pictured flower fairies, met with spirits, communicated with her guardian angels through channelor.............tons of those non-sense! And actually, these "experiences" had led her lose her family...... A bit regretful to have read this book.......but rated "so-so" as now, I know I should be more cautious and doubtful when I read the later books of Kuebler-Ross.
