“That was the thing about lies: they demanded commitment. Once you lied, you had to stick to your story.”
― Angie Kim, Miracle Creek

“Having a special-needs child didn’t just change you; it transmuted you, transported you to a parallel world with an altered gravitational axis.”
― Angie Kim, Miracle Creek

“The stone that poor people born with, Irene. Is a stone that sit right on the top of our heads. The one that always stop we from rising”
― Kei Miller, Augustown

“The sick suffer alone, they undergo procedures and surgeries alone, and in the end, they die alone. Transplant is different. Transplant is all about having someone else join you in your illness. It may be in the form of an organ from a recently deceased donor, a selfless gift given by someone has never met you, or a kidney or liver from a relative, friend or acquaintance. In every case, someone is saying, in effect, “Let me join you in the recovery, your suffering, your fear of the unknown, your desire to become healthy, to get your life back. Let me bear some of your risk with you.”
― Joshua Mezrich, How Death Becomes Life: Notes from a Transplant Surgeon
