“Those great wars which the body wages with the mind a slave to it, in the solitude of the bedroom against the assault of fever or the oncome of melancholia, are neglected.

― Virginia Woolf, On Being Ill

“[W]e cease to be soldiers in the army of the upright; we become deserters. They march to battle.

― Virginia Woolf, On Being Ill

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.”
― Neil Gaiman
