Anne Clendening
“Hospice care? No, you must mean Frisbee game. Because there's no way my brother and I aren't outside right now playing Frisbee in the middlle of the street in the middle of summer and there are weird bugs everywhere no matter how much bug spray we put on ourselves and our mom is coming out to tell us for the third and final time, C'mon inside kids, it's getting dark.”
Anne Clendening, Bent: How Yoga Saved My Ass

Brent Green
“Suffering can precipitate creativity, liberating the creator through inspiration and then many available channels of human communication, and therefore there is value in suffering.”
Brent Green, Questions of the Spirit: The Quest for Understanding at a Time of Loss
