All my life’s work will drain away without ever being realized. For a sculptor, working with their hands is crucial and hands must be supported by a strong and supple back. And I work with sturdy materials that need dexterity and strength to handle – metal and stone and sometimes even bricks! How do I do any of it now? Radhika Mukherjee
About This Quote

If you have spent the last year in the hospital and every day you are at the mercy of your caretakers, your life is in their hands. You can no longer work with your hands; not even the slightest motion will give you any control over your own life. It's like wearing a big, heavy backpack filled with rocks and sand and stones and bricks that weigh you down all day, every day. If you want to be free to move, you must let go of these burdens. You can't carry them alone.
