"Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage ..." — Albert Schweitzer

We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.

I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the foundation of all ethics.

Serious illness doesn't bother me for long because I am too inhospitable a host.

I wanted to be a doctor that I might be able to work without having to talk because for years I had been giving myself out in words.
