“Being sick teaches you that reasons are just poor attempts at justifying misfortune. They give you an illusion of why, but why is a loud question, and death is quiet.”

“Death is not a being. It is a state of being. We humanize it, demonize it, give it a soul because it is easier to condemn something with a face. Disease is in the same boat, only it's a lot easier to convict it. Disease has reason. Virus, bacteria, defected cells. Those already have a face.
Time doesn't need a face at all. Time steals openly. Such carelessness on its part is enough to be found guilty.
Guilty of what, though? Time, Disease, and Death don't hate us. The world and its many shadows are not capable of hate. They simply don't care about us.
They don't need us. They never made, and as such, never broke any promises.”

“Children who experience illness can harden. It isn’t a response to pain, it’s a response to their life feeling stretched, thinned into a cycle. Memories blur into each other. A year in a hospital can feel like ten. Maybe that’s why so many patients have the wisdom of an old man and the temper of a child.”
