The most important things I’ve ever done in my life have been in this hospital. Nothing will ever matter more than what I’ve done in this hospital, but it is killing me. You know how they say that a part of you dies when you lose someone you love? I’m not convinced that a part of you doesn’t die every time you see a fellow human pass. And I’ve seen so many people die that I feel like it’s leaching something from my soul.[to Abbott]
The limits of what we know, that’s something you can get lost in.
The death of a loved one is the painful but necessary reminder that life is delicate, precious, that one must not take those around us for granted, that one must strengthen bonds.
Talking about the people we’ve lost can make it seem as though they’re still with us.

Really f***ing hurts to lose. Chips away pieces of you each time. Pieces you don’t get back. And it leaves you with no choice but to go forward incomplete.
Please don’t go, Aang. The world can’t afford to lose you to the Fire Nation. Neither can I.
Pain of losing a child never leaves you.
Once you lose everything, you realize the things that you had were ephemeral and transitory. They were never really yours in the first place.
