“We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.” — Albert Schweitzer

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.

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

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.
