"Face up to it, Sam, decide right now how you'll take all this. Someday you'll be out in the world, crippled. Will you whine and complain and lose all your friends? Are you going to talk, talk, talk about it, tell how you're suffering, get everybody to pitying you-and running from you? Or are you going to smile, shut up about your pains, be warmly interested in other people, and forget yourself by helping others?"
