- Pain shapes the story, but it doesn’t write the ending.
- Pain is the best gift that nobody asks for.

- Every compliment is an insult to someone.
- A diagnosis is not a death sentence—it is a pathway toward healing.
- Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
- Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
- A healthy person wants 10,000 things; a sick person wants only one.
- Pain is a request for change.
