“A poor gentlewoman, doctor, is the worst thing in the world”
“The best doctors in the world are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet, and Doctor Merryman. ”
“But now the world, he thought, had taken them. He knew that this could suddenly happen. One day you just woke up, and there was somewhere that you needed to be.”
“Be true! Be true! Be true! Show freely to the world, if not your worst, yet some trait whereby the worst may be inferred!”
“Don’t think about it. Just breathe.Somewhere on the other side of the world, it is spring. Somewhere, fresh blades of grass are breaking through the cold crust of the earth and the streams are running full as the last of the snow melts. Somewhere on the other side of the world, your room is waiting for you. Somewhere on the other side of the world, your parents buried an empty box.No. Think of something else.”
