“May I be awake enough to notice when love appears and bold enough to pursue it without knowing where it will end”
Suleika Jaouad, Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted

Susan Sontag
“One of my oldest crusades is against the distinction between thought and feeling, which is really the basis of all anti-intellectual views: the heart and the head, thinking and feeling, fantasy and judgment . . . and I don’t believe it’s true. . . . I have the impression that thinking is a form of feeling and that feeling is a form of thinking.”
Susan Sontag, Susan Sontag: The Complete Rolling Stone Interview

Johanna Hedva
“How privileged are you if you first require hope in order to act?”
Johanna Hedva, How to Tell When We Will Die: On Pain, Disability, and Doom

Suleika Jaouad
“EVERYONE WHO IS born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick,” Susan Sontag wrote in Illness as Metaphor. “Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.”
Suleika Jaouad, Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted

Suleika Jaouad
“As we live longer and longer, the vast majority of us will travel back and forth across these realms, spending much of our lives somewhere in between. These are the terms of our existence. The idea of striving for some beautiful, perfect state of wellness? It mires us in eternal dissatisfaction, a goal forever out of reach. To be well now is to learn to accept whatever body and mind I
currently have.”
Suleika Jaouad, Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted
