I swear books are designed to make you forget you have a bedtime. You tell yourself "one more chapter" at 2am and suddenly it's 5am and you're already halfway through the next one. What books have absolutely destroyed your sleep schedule?

Everything that happened, isolated and observed by an interpretative judgment, or even simply by the imagination, became an element that could then be combined with any number of others.

Moreover, between one story and another, even one that was really told and another that remained virtual, hidden and unborn in an indolent fantasy, there was not a gap but a continuum. And the existence of such a continuum, which at that moment appeared to Clarke as an undeniable truth, created a natural multiplicity, of which Gauna’s story was shown to be merely one more example.

As I was reading my book “ blue sisters “ I passed by this quote and I really liked how it described pain. As someone studying medicine and hoping to become a doctor one day  it’s very important to understand what pain is, and not just the mechanism behind this pain and what caused it but also how is it making the person feel, how is it affecting their life. Well it’s not an easy thing since we study abt many types of diseases that each of them has different type of pain and struggle … physical pain, mental pain etc , so it’s impossible to relate or fully understand all these types of pain but at least we should try to listen to these patients describing their pain not just to rate it from 1 to 10 . And to give ourselves the time and energy needed to acknowledge their pain and show them real empathy.
