Quotes by Jim Murphy

“Sometimes...I lose myself in looking back upon the ocean which I have passed, and now and then find myself surprised by a tear in reflecting upon the friends I have lost, and the scenes of distress that I have witnessed, and which I was unable to relieve.

—Dr. Benjamin Rush”
― Jim Murphy, An American Plague: The True and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793
