“We are all simply tiny bits of the universe pretending to be human for a brief moment in time.”
"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:
A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him…
a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death."
-Pearl S. Buck
“People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead.”
― James Baldwin
"The doctor of the future will give no medicines, but will interest his patients in the care of the human body, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
