Quotes by Allison Alexander  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Those of us with chronic pain have something unique to offer, not in spite of our pain, but because of it. It's okay to grieve the losses of chronic illness. It's okay to be broken; everyone is in some way. Just because we're unfixable doesn't mean we're worthless.”
Allison Alexander, Super Sick: Making Peace with Chronic Illness

“Those of us who are blamed when old for reading childish books were blamed when children for reading books too old for us.”
C.S. Lewis
tags: age, books

“He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.”
Anne Lamott

“It's a gift. Never lend a book.”
Ronald D. Moore

“Behind every stressful thought is the desire for things to be other than they are.”
Toni Bernhard, How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers
