Quotes by David Fajgenbaum (?)

“hope cannot be a passive concept. It’s a choice and a force; hoping for something takes more than casting out a wish to the universe and waiting for it to occur. Hope should inspire action.”
― David Fajgenbaum, Chasing My Cure: A Doctor's Race to Turn Hope into Action

“Happiness is achieved through sacrifice. Do not look outside for what is to be found inside. Do not expect from others what you yourselves can and are called to be or to do.”
― David Fajgenbaum, Chasing My Cure: A Doctor's Race to Turn Hope into Action
