Molly Ivins succumbed yesterday to perhaps the most lethal form of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer. Ms. Ivins was well known for her wit and she certainly used it during her battle with the disease.

She didn't announce this latest return of the cancer until she was two months into treatment, saying that, "God knows I don't need another casserole."

Here's another quote that resonated with me:

'One of the things I said was that I had been in great hopes I would become a better person as a result of confronting my own mortality, but it actually never happened. I didn't become a better person.'
