Quotes by G. Wayne Miller (?)

“Congenital disease can warp the heart with great variety. Valves can be sealed tight, missing parts—or absent altogether. Major vessels can be misplaced, narrowed, or blocked completely. A chamber can be too small or missing, a wall too thick or thin. The heart’s electrical system—its nerves—may go haywire. The muscle can be weak. Holes may occur almost anywhere, in almost any size. Studying heart pathology, one is reminded that the genetic symphony that produces a normal baby is indeed a wondrous and delicate one.”
― G. Wayne Miller, King of Hearts: The True Story of the Maverick Who Pioneered Open Heart Surgery

“Misery loves company, but today . . . today misery wanted to be alone.”

“If I’ve stayed longer than 4–5 days in any one place, I long to get on the move again.”
