In reading a novel, any novel, we have to know perfectly well that the whole thing is nonsense, and then, while reading, believe every word of it. Finally, when we're done with it, we may find, if it's a good novel, that we're a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have changed a little. But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

Atrial fibrillation can be taken care of. The point is that it is manageable. Everybody is different and will have different ways of managing whatever they need, and their doctor will have ways of managing theirs.

#quotes #alain-robert #climbing #building

To create worry humans elongate fear with anticipation and memory, expand it in imagination and fuel it with emotion.

Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well. ~Edward Hallowell
