“It is infinitely better to transplant a heart than to bury it to be devoured by worms.”
Christiaan Barnard

“For a dying man it is not a difficult decision [to agree to become the world's first heart transplant] ... because he knows he is at the end. If a lion chases you to the bank of a river filled with crocodiles, you will leap into the water convinced you have a chance to swim to the other side. But you would not accept such odds if there were no lion.”
Christiaan Barnard

“Suffering isn't ennobling, recovery is.”
Christiaan Barnard
