“How we treat the least of our brethren,... that's the measure of this country.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

“The master-word is Work, a little one, as I have said, but fraught with momentous sequences if you can but write it on the tablets of your hearts, and bind it upon your foreheads.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Abraham   Verghese
“You had to exert yourself to see this world. But if you did, if you had that kind of curiosity, if you had an innate interest in the welfare of your fellow human beings, and if you went through that door, a strange thing happened: you left your petty troubles on the threshold. It could be addictive”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

“You live it forward, but understand it backward.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Abraham   Verghese
“This is my life, I thought...I have excised the cancer from my past, cut it out; I have crossed the high plains, descended into the desert, traversed oceans, and planted my feet in new soil; I have been the apprentice, paid my dues, and have just become master of my ship. But when I look down, why do I see the ancient, tarred, mud-stained slippers that I buried at the start of the journey still stuck to my feet?”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone
