“Cancer Kid has the Make-A-Wish Foundation because Cancer Kid will eventually die, and that's sad. Schizophrenia Kid will also eventually die, but before he does, he will be overmedicated with a plethora of drugs, he will alienate everyone he's ever really cared about, and he will most likely wind up on the street, living with a cat that will eat him when he dies. That is also sad, but nobody gives him a wish, because he isn't actively dying. It is abundantly clear that we only care about sick people who are dying tragic, time-sensitive deaths.”
― Julia Walton, Words on Bathroom Walls

― Val Emmich, Dear Evan Hansen

“I was lucky. That's what everyone told me. I didn't feel very lucky, lying there in the most excruciating physical pain of my life.”
