Alexandra Robbins
“In no other profession do people float ably among specialties, helping to ease babies into being, escorting men and women gently into death, and heroically resurrecting patients in between. There are few other careers in which people are so devoted to a noble purpose that they work twelve, fourteen, sixteen straight hours without eating, sleeping, or taking breaks and often without cmomensurate pay simply because they believe in the importance of their job. They are frequently the first responders on the front lines of malady and contagion, risking their own health to improve someone else's. Nursing is more than a career; it is a calling.”
Alexandra Robbins

“Medicine is becoming a business, and if people choose medicine as a way to make money, they should go to the States because there, health care is a commodity for sale and you can shop around for the best product. Patients are the customers and if you're rich you get better health care than if you're poor. In Canada, health care is a basic human right, a service that every human being deserves. Tell me, have any of you ever seen someone get preferential treatment? A Canadian over a non-resident? A white person over one of color? A VIP over an ordinary citizen?”
Tilda Shalof, A Nurse's Story: Life, Death and In-Between in an Intensive Care Unit

“He asked, "which war?"
A pause. "Between the North and the South."
"He says there is always war, but why are the Westerners fighting Vietnamese war?"
"To give freedom."
The monk shook his head, rubbed his hands over his stubbed scalp. He talked rapidly to Linh, gesturing then laughing. "That makes no sense. Sense. Why die for Vietnamese?"
" Tell him.. It's complicated. Tell him it's geopolitics, the movement of communism, the Domino theory of the fall of Southeast Asia...”
Tatjana Soli, The Lotus Eaters

“Who ever thinks, recalling the face of the one they loved who is gone: yes, I looked at you enough, I loved you enough, we had enough time, any of this was enough?”
Celeste Ng, Our Missing Hearts

Tatjana Soli
“It became more and more clear in the intervening days that Helen and Linh could not love each other fiercely, selfishly, as young lovers. They loved each other like secular saints, two selfless for reckless passion, to aware of each other's pain and the avoidance of it. They loved with a middle-aged caution.”
Tatjana Soli, The Lotus Eaters
