Anna Quindlen cytaty

„Niech Bóg błogosławi lekarza, który ogrzewa wziernik lub trzyma cię za rękę i patrzy ci w oczy. Być może jednym z powodów debaty na temat opieki zdrowotnej jest marzenie, aby leczenie dotyczyło całej osoby, a nie tylko oka, ucha, nosa czy gardła. Marzenie, aby zarówno pacjent, jak i lekarz stali się znowu ludźmi.”

“Our love of lockstep is our greatest curse, the source of all that bedevils us. It is the source of homophobia, xenophobia, racism, sexism, terrorism, bigotry of every variety and hue, because it tells us there is one right way to do things, to look, to behave, to feel, when the only right way is to feel your heart hammering inside you and to listen to what its timpani is saying.”
