“Think about the toll the job takes on every healthcare professional, at home and at work. Remember they do an impossible job, to the very best of their abilities. Your time in hospital may well hurt them a lot more than it hurts you.”
― Adam Kay, This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor

“Doctors must be psychologically fit for the job — able to make decisions under a terrifying amount of pressure, able to break bad news to us anguished relatives, able to deal with death on a daily basis. They must have something that cannot be memorized and graded; a great doctor must have a huge heart and a distended aorta which pumps a vast lake of compassion and human kindness.”
― Adam Kay, This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor

“She did not stand alone, but what stood behind her, the most potent moral force in her life, was the love of her father. She never questioned it, never thought about it, never even realized that before she made any decision of imprtance the reflext, 'What would Atticus do?' passed through her unconscious; she never realized what made her dig in her feet and stand firm whenever she did was her father; that whatever decent and of good report in her character was put there by her father; she did not know that she worshiped him.”
― Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman

“Aber neben dieser von der SS getroffenen, sozusagen aktiven Auslese gab es auch noch eine passive: Unter den Lagerinsassen, die sich viele, viele
Jahre in Lagern aufhielten, von einem Lager in das andere und schließlich insgesamt in Dutzende von Lagern gebracht wurden, konnten sich im
Durchschnitt nur jene am Leben erhalten, die in diesem Kampf um die Lebenserhaltung skrupellos waren und auch vor Gewalttätigkeit, ja sogar nicht einmal vor Kameradschaftsdiebstahl zurückschreckten. Wir alle, die wir durch tausend und abertausend glückliche Zufälle oder Gotteswunder – wie immer man es nennen will – mit dem Leben davongekommen sind, wir wissen es und können es ruhig sagen: die Besten sind nicht zurückgekommen.”
