NOTEWORTHY QUOTES
“When your organs are failing and you realize that you're going to die, all you want to do is just give back. You think, how did I leave this world better than I came into it? What did I give back? Yes, I succeeded in my professional career of doing what I needed to do. But what did I actually do to leave a mark to make it better?”
“Animals can be such powerful beings, and they can help really save people from themselves because you start to see outside yourself”
