Meaning of life

"Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be. We owe them some respect. I touches the first cow as it was being stunned. In a few seconds, it was gonna be just another piece of beef, but... In that moment, it was still an INDIVIDUAL. It was calm and then it was gone. I became aware of how PRECIOUS life was. And I thought about death and I felt close to God. " " I DON'T WANT MY THOUGHTS TO DIE WITH ME. I WANT TO HAVE DONE SOMETHING. " "I mean, they knew I was different, but NOT LESS. You know, I had a gift. I could see the world in a new way. I could see details that other people were blind to. " cit. Temple Grandin

Temple Grandin quotes

  • [Temple tries to leave the funeral]

    Eustacia: Temple, are you alright?

    Temple Grandin: I'm leaving now.

    Eustacia: It isn't over yet.

    Temple Grandin: I said goodbye when I saw him, he isn't there. I've got him in my mind.

  • Eustacia: I have done everything that I can for Temple, and if it isn't good enough, then it just isn't good enough. But you cannot even begin to imagine the chaos, the upheavals, the tantrums and the pain.

    [emphasis]

    Eustacia: Her pain.

    Dr. Carlock: You seem to be acting as if you have done something wrong, when it's obvious you've done everything right. I think she's terrific.
