Prose & Such
“Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale.”
“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”
“The trouble is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And once you’ve seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There’s no innocence. Either way you’re accountable.”
“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief.
Walk humbly, now.
Do justly, now.
Love mercily, now.
You are not expected to complete the work.
But neither are you free to abandon it.”
“Being alone in the unknown is never comfortable, and discomfort does things to us that ease and routine cannot. It pushes our buttons, forces us to confront ugly things we’d rather ignore, and teaches us about beauty and truth.”
