“We are all fixing what is broken. It is the task of a lifetime. We'll leave much unfinished for the next generation.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

“According to Shiva, life is in the end about fixing holes. Shiva didn't speak in metaphors. fixing holes is precisely what he did. Still, it's an apt metaphor for our profession. But there's another kind of hole, and that is the wound that divides family. Sometimes this wound occurs at the moment of birth, sometimes it happens later. We are all fixing what is broken. It is the task of a lifetime. We'll leave much unfinished for the next generation.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone
