"Some damage is too severe, some harm endures. And what you have to do is accept it. And by accept it I mean, donâ€™t be the paralyzed person in the bed who is waiting to walk again. Realize, itâ€™s never gonna happen. And find some other way to get around â€“swing from a vine, get a Mad Max wheelchair. Anything butâ€¦wait."

-- Augusten Burroughs

“People, Reacher was certain about. Dogs were different. People had freedom of choice. If a man or a woman ran snarling toward him, they did so because they chose to.
