    Max Nowaz
    “He was sure people detested accountants; they were boring. In fact, he had put down his profession as an airline pilot on the form he had filled in for a dating agency. As an airline pilot you could be away just the right amount of time, when you needed a break from your love life, without facing awkward questions from her when you got back.”

    Diane Merrill Wigginton
    “Let me ask you another question, if I may,” Jake says. “Have you ever been in love?”

    “No. I mean really in love. The kind of love that makes you abandon all reason and throw caution to the wind. The kind of love that makes you trade logic for passion?”
    ― Diane Merrill Wigginton, A Compromising Position

    “It’s estimated that AI could free up to 25% of clinician time across different specialties. This increased amount of time could mean less hurried encounters and more humane interactions, including more empathy from happier doctors. This is important because empathy has been shown to improve outcomes by boosting patient adherence to the prescribed treatments, increasing motivation, and reducing anxiety and stress.”

    Therisa Peimer
    “Mom, please don't use 'the happy voice.' It reminds me of the day Tinkles died."
    "Who was Tinkles?" Sue asked around a mouthful of pancake.
    "My cat. When I was five, Tinkles died choking on a mouse that was a bit ambitious for a kitten to eat."
    "It was terribly traumatic for Aurelia because it was the first time she'd experienced loss." 
    "What did you do to help her get through it?" 
    Rosalind smiled at Mother Guardian. "Well, after a good cry, we performed an autopsy."
    Aurelia reached for her mother's hand. "I never thanked you for that.”

    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “You, you only, exist.
    We pass away, till at last,
    our passing is so immense
    that you arise: beautiful moment,
    in all your suddenness,
    arising in love, or enchanted
    in the contraction of work.

    To you I belong, however time may
    wear me away. From you to you
    I go commanded. In between
    the garland is hanging in chance; but if you
    take it up and up and up: look:
    all becomes festival!”
    ― Rainer Maria Rilke

    Primo Levi
    “All took leave from life in the manner which most suited them. Some praying, some deliberately drunk, others lustfully intoxicated for the last time. But the mothers stayed up to prepare the food for the journey with tender care, and washed their children and packed their luggage; and at dawn the barbed wire was full of children's washing hung out in the wind to dry. Nor did they forget the diapers, the toys, the cushions and the hundreds other small things which mothers remember and which children always need. Would you not do the same? If you and your child were going to die tomorrow, would you not give him to eat today?”
    ― Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz
