It's easier to get over a lost body than a lost soul.

What makes most of us who we are most of all is not our minds and not our bodies and not what happens to us, but how we respond to what happens to us.

No matter how stark the reality, a human being fits it into a narrative that is palatable.

We have to rise above bad fortune. We have to be in the good and enjoy the good, study and work and adventure and friendship and community and love.
