Everybody knows how lazy he is. One day the neighbors saw Fang mow the lawn and I got three Get Well cards.
All we actually have is our body and its muscles that allow us to be under our own power.
if you don't get sick, you won't get well.
Psychotherapy is the theory that the patient will probably get well anyhow and is certainly a damn fool.
The fans in the United States, they are, well, more polite. The fans in Argentina can get, well, crazy.
When you talk to women who were working as print journalists or in broadcasting in the '50s, and then you talk to women who were working in the late '60s, there's an enormous difference. There had already been a huge transition. Then, of course, you get well into the '70s and there were women with children working.
To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.
I think I was very lucky that I didn't get well-known until my early thirties. If it had happened when I was younger, you might have seen me falling out of nightclubs. I think I conducted myself as a much better human being because I was already married when all that came along (I got married five months after I got the role as Will).
Where there is a confluence of interests among nations, as, for example the swine flu or polio, you can get well functioning international institutions like the World Health Organization. And you can act. Climate change is different, because the science remains hypothetical and the potential costs staggering.
Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.
Illness was a sort of occupation to me, and I was always sorry to get well.
Sickness disgusts us with death, and we wish to get well, which is a way of wishing to live. But weakness and suffering, with manifold bodily woes, soon discourage the invalid from trying to regain ground: he tires of those respites which are but snares, of that faltering strength, those ardors cut short, and that perpetual lying in wait for the next attack.
Healing rain is a real touch from God. It could be physical healing or emotional or whatever.
I am here for my mother and all the Americans who are forced to spend time arguing with health insurance companies instead of focusing on getting well. I am here for the millions of lives that will be touched and in some cases, saved, by health insurance reform. I am here for the small businesses who are forced to choose between health care and hiring. I am here for the seniors who are unable to afford the prescriptions they need.
Would you believe that I once entered a beauty contest? I must have been out of my mind. I not only came in last, I got 361 get-well cards.
Time didn't heal, but it anesthetized. The human mind could only feel so much.
The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart.
From watching my own mind deteriorate circuit by circuit, I learned that every ability I have, from wiggling my finger to creating language, is dependent on a group of cells inside of my brain functioning in a healthy, happy way. I realized in order to get well I had to make the cells that performed those functions well again. It gave me an entirely different way to look at myself as an individual and at all of us as people.
The fact that your patient gets well does not prove that your diagnosis was correct.
Scars are but evidence of life.
