Walter Isaacson
“When the conventional wisdom of physics seemed to conflict with an elegant theory of his, Einstein was inclined to question that wisdom rather than his theory, often to have his stubbornness rewarded.”
Walter Isaacson

Maurice Switzer
“It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”
Maurice Switzer, Mrs. Goose, Her Book

Abraham   Verghese
“I'm ashamed of our human capacity to hurt and maim one another, to desecrate the body. Yet it allows me to see the cabalistic harmony of heart peeking out behind lung, of liver and spleen consulting each other under the dome of the diaphragm -- these things leave me speechless.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Abraham   Verghese
“Yesterday misspent can't be recall'd
Vanity makes beauty contemptible
Wisdom is more valuable than riches.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

Abraham   Verghese
“Life, too, is like that. You live it forward, but understand it backward." from CUTTING FOR STONE”
Abraham Verghese
