P.G. Wodehouse
“She looked like something that might have occured to Ibsen in one of his less frivolous moments.”
P.G. Wodehouse, Summer Lightning

Siddhartha Mukherjee
“But in 1960, oncology was not yet ready for this proposal. Not until several years later did it strike the board that had fired Li so hastily that the patients he had treated with the prolonged maintenance strategy would never relapse. This strategy--which cost Min Chiu Li his job--resulted in the first chemotherapeutic cure of cancer in adults.”

Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Siddhartha Mukherjee
“The art of medicine is long, Hippocrates tells us, "and life is short; opportunity fleeting; the experiment perilous; judgment flawed.”
Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

Amitav Ghosh
“(...) an instance when Fate had conspired with Nature to give them a sign that theirs was no ordinary journey.”
Amitav Ghosh, River of Smoke
