Fabulous quote from Roger Ebert (thyroid cancer survivor) on Oprah today:

“I believe that if, at the end of it all according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances…we must try. I didn’t always know this and I am happy that I lived long enough to find it out.”

And about the way he looks now after his surgeries took his lower jaw and voice: ”This is the way I look and my life is happy and productive…nobody looks perfect…we have to find peace with the way we look and get on with life.”
