“with this mother”
Gabriel Farago, The Stolen Altarpiece: A historical crime mystery.

“One in particular, is the discovery of a drug called Yervoy, or anti-CTLA-4, which has just recently been approved in Australia and around the world to reactivate immune system reactions against melanoma, lung cancer and other tumours.”
Gabriel Farago, The Jack Rogan Mysteries #1-4

“greatest”
Gabriel Farago, The Jack Rogan Mysteries #1-4

“The best is yet to come!”
Gabriel Farago

“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.”
Mother Teresa, A Simple Path: Mother Teresa
