Maggie Nelson Quotes

217. "We're Only Given As Much As The Heart Can Endure," "What Does Not Kill You Makes You Stronger," "Our Sorrows Provide Us With The Lessons We Most Need To Learn": These Are The Kinds Of Phrases That Enrage My Injured Friend. Indeed, One Would Be Hard Pressed To Come Up With A Spiritual Lesson That Demands Becoming A Quadriparalytic. The Tepid "there Must Be A Reason For It" Notion Sometimes Floated By Religious Or Quasi-religious Acquaintances Or Bystanders, Is, To Her, Another Form Of Violence. She Has No Time For It. She Is Too Busy Asking, In This Changed Form, What Makes A Livable Life, And How She Can Live It.
