“Maybe I should find another doctor; one who realizes the importance of scars.”

“I should be arguing vehemently with doctors, demanding results, I should be surrounded by people who are bleeding and screaming and shocking one another with defibrillators.”

“Maybe it's important to open up I people- people who are right there with you, not some thousand miles away in another universe. Or maybe it's something else. Maybe I should just settle for not knowing. Maybe it's just good to know that you're not the only one who doesn't know.”

“I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another's company and aid in consultation.”

“I realized that the one person who could break my heart is the only one who should have it.”

“I thought he should have realized sooner that important people don't show up very often, and you should hold on to them when they do. Maybe I was smarter than he was all along, because that was something I'd always known.”
