"Last update before review: p.170 Something round and dirty and white was resting near my foot. It was a skull, I picked it up. “Is that you, Nicholas?” I asked. “Put that down, Peter,” said Nightingale. “You don’t know where it’s been.”" — Jul 12, 2012 06:51AM

"Many doctors believe, like Ana’s Dr. Cosford, that autism, chronic fatigue, and a variety of other chronic illnesses all involve a deterioration of the biological systems that help us cope with the environment. To Cosford and others, the autism is not a “thing” or “specific disease” but the way the brain and body behave when their cells are having a hard time." — Jul 08, 2012 06:04AM

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
