Quotes: Rebecca Solnit

"A major illness or injury is a rupture that invites you to rethink, to restart, to review what matters. It's a reminder that your time is finite and not to be wasted, and in breaking you from the past it offers the possibility of starting fresh."

–– Rebecca Solnit (b. 1961), American author
