“Sometimes, Just when we need them, life wraps metaphors up in little bows for us. When you think all is lost, the things you need the most return unexpectedly.”
Susannah Cahalan, Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness

“We are, in the end, a sum of our parts, and when the body fails, all the virtues we hold dear go with it.”
Susannah Cahalan, Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness

Susannah Cahalan, Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness
