Abraham   Verghese
“All my ghosts had vanished; the retribution that they sought had been exacted. I had nothing more to give, and nothing to fear.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Andrew Solomon
“When parents say, ‘I wish my child did not have autism,’ what they’re really saying is, ‘I wish the autistic child I have did not exist, and I had a different (non-autistic) child instead.’ Read that again. This is what we hear when you mourn over our existence. This is what we hear when you pray for a cure. This is what we know, when you tell us of your fondest hopes and dreams for us: that your greatest wish is that one day we will cease to be, and strangers you can love will move in behind our faces.”
andrew solomon, Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity

Curtis Sittenfeld

Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Abraham   Verghese
“I welcomed my slavish existence as a surgical resident, the never-ending work, the cries that kept me in the present, the immersion in blood, pus, and tears -- the fluids in which one dissolved all traces of self. In working myself ragged, I felt integrated...”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone
