“Laughter really is the best medicine and there are no strict lines to be drawn for its use. You shouldn't assume you understand why someone is joking about something and you should never ever rob somebody of their sense of humor. You might just be taking away their lifeline.”

“It didn’t hurt me. Not “hurt”. Hurt is a four letter word. It’s short, almost cute sounding. Aawwww, did that hurt? No. It didn’t hurt. Destroyed, Obliterated, Desecrated, Annihilated, Demolished, Shattered, or Demoralised maybe… But no. It didn’t hurt me.
It didn’t “hurt” me at all.”
― Ranata Suzuki

“There is not such thing as "minor" surgery. Minor surgery is surgery someone else has.”
