“Sickness is a problem for the body, not the mind — unless the mind decides that it is a problem. Lameness, too, is the body's problem, not the mind's. Say this to yourself whatever the circumstance and you will find without fail that the problem pertains to something else, not to you.”
― Epictetus, Discourses and Selected Writings

“I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.”
