One sheds ones sickness in books- repeats and presents again ones emotions, to be master of them.

About This Quote

To be master of your emotions is what you should want to do. If you can control your emotions, you can control your life. When you are in a situation that is causing anxiety or stress, thinking about the situation will only make it worse. You need to find something that will take your mind off of the situation.

For example, if one is trying to study for an exam and they are stressed out, they might want to turn to their favorite book and read about being sick so that they can think about being sick all day long. This allows them to get rid of their stress.
