“In spite of illness, in spite even of the arch-enemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways”
— Edith Wharton
Simplified Meaning:
Even when someone is sick or feeling really sad, they can live a good and long life if they are not scared of change, always eager to learn, focus on important things, and find joy in small moments.
