“Change starts with ordinary people doing extraordinary things. The path to the extraordinary is open to anybody at any time.”
Larry Brilliant, Sometimes Brilliant: The Impossible Adventure of a Spiritual Seeker and Visionary Physician Who Helped Conquer the Worst Disease in History

“is a great story, and it has the extra, additional, incremental benefit of being true.”
Larry Brilliant, Sometimes Brilliant: The Impossible Adventure of a Spiritual Seeker and Visionary Physician Who Helped Conquer the Worst Disease in History

“I had needles and surgical thread but no way to anesthetize them. They were so stoic throughout the procedure; when I finished, both men thanked me profusely and then bowed to each other as they said, Om mani padme hum, which translates roughly as “Hail to the jewel of the lotus, symbol of awakened humanity.”
