Nina Riggs

“I am reminded of an image...that living with a terminal disease is like walking on a tightrope over an insanely scary abyss. But that living without disease is also like walking on a tightrope over an insanely scary abyss, only with some fog or cloud cover obscuring the depths a bit more -- sometimes the wind blowing it off a little, sometimes a nice dense cover.”
― Nina Riggs, The Bright Hour: A Memoir of Living and Dying

“Sometimes the most important thing is knowing when to quit. Sometimes being heroic is knowing when to say enough is enough.”
― Nina Riggs, The Bright Hour: A Memoir of Living and Dying
