Famous Karen Duffy Quotes

“In the extra innings phase, you can learn from your life and live with vigor and generosity and gratitude.

“As the illness attempts to diminish you, destroy you, or distract you, you've got to rely on your sense of style to help you to divert it, to defeat it and transcend it . . . . "illness style." A good synonym might be "strategy" except the word is too cold to describe something that's about being as alive and vibrant as possible.”
