Quote by Anthony Doerr

“L'esistenza di ognuno di noi comincia con un'unica cellula, più piccola di un granello di polvere. Molto più piccola. Suddividiti. Moltiplicati. Somma e sottrai. La materia cambia padrone, gli atomi affluiscono e defluiscono, le molecole ruotano, le proteine si legano, i mitocondri emanano i loro decreti di ossidazione; in principio erano microscopici sciami elettrici. I polmoni il cervello il cuore. Quaranta settimane dopo, seimila miliardi di cellule s'incuneano nella morsa del canale del parto di nostra madre, e noi strilliamo. Dopo di che il mondo inizia a darci addosso.”

“Prima di chiudere gli occhi, il pensiero di Sarah andò a quello scherzo del fato per cui si nasceva in una città moderna e gremita di abitanti, piuttosto che su un’isola sperduta d’un fiume africano e solo in base a questo, il che pareva un azzardo da bisca seppure di mano divina, mutava interamente non solo il sistema dei valori e la percezione del mondo, ma le aspettative, le speranze, gli intenti. In breve, ogni cosa.”

“It's a bittersweet feeling to finally name what ails you after so long. On the one hand it's a relief because you can finally take action. On the other, endometriosis can feel overwhelming. There isn't enough useful information about it, nothing that encapsulates its all-encompassing nature or defines the all-involving path to recovery - except this book which is mind-blowingly relatable, relieving, and helpful.”

“Endo doesn't just affect the pelvic region. The body's response to the inflammation it causes sensitizes the central nervous system, and if you don't know what's going on - as I didn't - this sensitization ***** with your head. If your head's not right, there's a good chance you're in distress. This is where endo crosses the line from a physical ailment to an emotional one too. -- from the forward, written by Bojana Novakovic”

“Choosing to spend energy on your relationships will be much more fulfilling than wasting it on unnecessary clutter and accumulating "things" that in the long run don't really matter anyway. Most of us will not be canonized in history books nor have monuments built in our honor because of what we owned or the things we accomplished at work. Our legacy will be found in the lives and endeavors that were enriched while we were passing through this life.”
