Ray Nayler
“What does it mean to be a self? I think, more than anything else, it means the ability to select between different possible outcomes in order to direct oneself toward a desired outcome: to be future-oriented. When every day is the same, when we are not presented with the necessity to choose between different possibilities, we say we don’t “feel alive”—and here I think we guess at what being alive actually is. It is the ability to choose. We live in choices.”
Ray Nayler, The Mountain in the Sea

Tara Westover
“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?”
Tara Westover, Educated

Leo Tolstoy
“everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait . . . there is nothing stronger than these two: patience and time, they will do it all.”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Min Jin Lee
“that a man must learn to forgive—to know what is important, that to live without forgiveness was a kind of death with breathing and movement.”
Min Jin Lee, Pachinko

Oliver Sacks
“This sense of the brain’s remarkable plasticity, its capacity for the most striking adaptations, not least in the special (and often desperate) circumstances of neural or sensory mishap, has come to dominate my own perception of my patients and their lives. So much so, indeed, that I am sometimes moved to wonder whether it may not be necessary to redefine the very concepts of “health” and “disease,” to see these in terms of the ability of the organism to create a new organization and order, one that fits its special, altered disposition and needs, rather than in the terms of a rigidly defined “norm.”
Oliver Sacks, An Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales
