Quotes by Joyce Wadler (?)

“Death, I now see, may not come when I am 85 and weary, or after I have solved all my problems or met all my deadlines. It will come whenever it damn well pleases; all I can control is the time between. So when I see something I want, I grab it. If the tulips are particularly yellow, I buy them. ”
― Joyce Wadler

“All I can control—for whatever fight I put up should a cancer make a comeback—is the time between.”
― Joyce Wadler, My Breast, One Woman's Cancer Story
