“My mother lost too much and repaired herself in the only way she was able to repair herself. That in fact she is repairing herself, hour by hour.”
“If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.”
“... you can advance only by more than filling your present place.”
“Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.”
“It's very advanced of you to have accepted my mortality so fatalistically.”
