“[About Susan Sontag] Her quest for meaning, for significance was endless. She described life more as a war than an adventure. Susan thrived best in the presence of an adversary. ... You learned that you were not her adversary if shed chosen you as a friend. She taught me as a friend the strength of dealing with adversity. Her last adversary was the struggle with death itself.”
