Illness

Every body's heart is open, you know, when they have recently escaped from severe pain, or are recovering the blessings of health.
- Jane Austen, 1775 - 1817

I hereby confess
That of all I possess
I'd most gladly be minus
The sinus.
- Felicia Lamport

The sad truth is that there is no point to getting sick when you're a grown-up. You know why? It's because being sick is about you and your mother.... Without that solicitous hand on your forehead, there is no one to confirm that you are really sick.
- Adair Lara
