Carlisle Cullen in every film: Eclipse “I examined him [Jacob] myself,” Carlisle said then; I turned my head to find his face, only a few feet away. Carlisle’s expression was serious and reassuring at the same time. It was impossible to doubt him. “His life is not in any danger. He was healing at an incredible rate, though his injuries were extensive enough that it will still be a few days before he is back to normal, even if the rate of repair holds steady. As soon as we’re done here, I will do what I can to help him. Sam is trying to get him to phase back to his human form. That will make treating him easier.”

"Not just to [endure it, suffer it, or pass through it], but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. [To] take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. [That’s] what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it."

“Why is it that children are these super curious people, but then we somehow end up as these information avoiders as adults?” There are some good reasons to avoid negative information, ... Information can overwhelm, threaten and paralyze. However, too much avoidance can also have severe negative consequences, like deepening political polarization or ideological rigidity. To avoid avoidance, she suggests thinking through why you might be avoiding something—possibly prioritizing short-term comfort over long-term benefits. ... It could help to reframe uncomfortable information as useful and valuable. “Humans have this propensity to want to resolve uncertainty, but when the resolution is threatening, people might flip to avoidance instead. I think there's something to be said about being able to tolerate and even embrace some level of uncertainty,” ... “I think that might help in not falling prey to information avoidance.” If all else fails, ... mimic what children do best: Follow your curiosity.
