It is in moments of illness that we are compelled to recognize that we live not alone but chained to a creature of a different kingdom, whole worlds apart, who has no knowledge of us and by whom it is impossible to make ourselves understood: our body.
From Marcel Proust
It is not because other people are dead that our affection for them grows faint, it is because we ourselves are dying.
