“I don't know what to do. I don't know her well enough to give her a hug. And she's sick of people asking her if she's OK. Then I think of something. "You're not OK," I say. She stares at me, her eyes red. "What?" "That's what people should say to you. Not 'Are you Ok?' but 'You're not OK.' As in 'I see it. I acknowledge it. You're not OK.” — Helena Echlin
