- McKenna 1999. gadā par brīdi, kad uzzināja, ka pēc pāris mēnešiem mirs no neārstējama smadzeņu audzēja:
"I always thought death would come on the freeway in a few horrifying moments, so you'd have no time to sort it out. Having months and months to look at it and think about it and talk to people and hear what they have to say, it's a kind of blessing. It's certainly an opportunity to grow up and get a grip and sort it all out. Just being told by an unsmiling guy in a white coat that you're going to be dead in four months definitely turns on the lights. ... It makes life rich and poignant. When it first happened, and I got these diagnoses, I could see the light of eternity, à la William Blake, shining through every leaf. I mean, a bug walking across the ground moved me to tears." - 2 atstāja kaut koatstāj kaut ko

When it first happened - tas ir kā? tev ik pēc dažiem mēnešiem pasaka, ka mirsi? lai nepārtraukti ir sajūta, ka jādzīvo uz pilnu klapi?

When it first happened - šķiet, nav gramatiski pareizi izteikts apgalvojums (jo tiek lietots vārds "first", kas implicē uzskaitījuma faktu). Pareizi (latviski) būtu: "Kad man diagnosticēja audzēju, tad es..."
