Quote by Barry Lopez

“Cancer, of course, is a teacher, and I'm writing down the lessons. It teaches empathy and compassion. It teaches patience and forbearance, with all that seems to be failing in the world. It teaches tolerance of the mess we and others make of our lives. It changes one's ambitions profoundly. It teaches the strengths to be found in community, which are different from the strengths to be found in individual striving. It teaches one to adapt.”

“Because I know, deep down, I am made of strong stuff. Rebuilt with it, at least, the way we all are, over the years, with age and experience, skin thickening, heart softening, patched up double in the places prone to breakage. A sum of all the things that have hurt us, scared up, sheltered and delighted us.”
