In a very cold, scientific sense, I think a cancer cell is a kind of biological marvel.” ThinkingKindTermWonderfulColdDiseaseNormalIncrediblesCancerCellsWonderful ThingsRemindersDuality Author:Siddhartha Mukherjee

“We say that one gets cancer, or a cold, or kidney disease. One would never think to say that one is cancer. But we say that one is depressed, or bipolar, or schizophrenic.

As for the new place, it looks on us with alien eyes, it has nothing to say to us, it is cold.” PeopleFeelsLooksDoeEyeMovingEnjoySoundSeaRegretColdSafeDiseaseAnxietyLeavingAliensRollingMixturesHarborsDwellingUnstableDesolateNew PlacesSafe Harbor Author:Jan Neruda
