“Far too many doctors-many of them excellent physicians-commit suicide each year; one recent study concluded that, until quite recently, the United States lost annually the equivalent of a medium-sized medical school class from suicide alone. Most physician suicides are due to depression or manic-depressive illness, both of which are eminently treatable. Physicians, unfortunately, not only suffer from a higher rate of mood disorders than the general population, they also have a greater access to very effective means of suicide.”
― Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness

“A man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you'd think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune”

“The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.”
