“A man has to fend and fettle for the best, and then trust in something beyond himself. You can't insure against the future, except by really believing in the best of you and in the power beyond it.”
― Lady Chatterley's Lover: By D. H. Lawrence & Illustrated

“We live in a time where increasingly our national leaders are more like dons of crime than statesmen, where notions of plausible deniability replace truth, and claims that politicians never knew of evil done in their own names by others are commonplace. It is the age of unbridled arrogance and video showmanship, where the challenge ' prove what I knew and when I knew it ' has become a national motto.”

“Most men, the herd, have never tasted solitude. They leave father and mother, but only to crawl to a wife and quietly succumb to new warmth and ties. They are never alone, they never commune with themselves. And when a solitary man crosses their path, they fear him and hate him like the plague, they fling stones at him and find no peace until they are far from him.”

“When you've been at it as long as I have, when you've treated people under all sorts of circumstances, when you've treated their parents and their children, you begin to see patterns. Illness doesn't strike randomly, like a theif in the night. Certain types of people at certain points in their lives will come down with certain kinds of ailments. You can almost predict it after a while. A disease can serve the same function for an alert doctor as a Rorschach inkblot for a psychologist; it's a form of existential self-expression for a patient. I know this may sound a little farfetched, but disease is not arbitrary, and it does not ' attack' .”
