    There’s an ancient text, the story of Sinuhe, who flees his native country. When he leaves Egypt, he says, My heart is not in my body. To the Ancient Egyptians, for whom the heart was the site of intellect and emotion and faith, it was the same as saying: I have lost my mind.
    Whatever happens, whatever I gain, it is going to be tempered by loss.
    My heart is not in my body, I think.

    “I’ve been trying to figure out what this disease is teaching me,” she says slowly.
    “About death?”
    “No. About life.”

    Everyone’s surprised by death, which is kind of ridiculous, when you think about it. It’s not exactly a spoiler. But I think that what really shocked me is how many people can’t see the shape of the life they’ve lived until they get to the very end of it. You know?
