Quote by Saša Stanišić

“Ackerfurchen. Zäune. Das Kreuz in der Schnapsflasche. Polenta für die Schwiegereltern. Vijarac. Gavrilo und Großmutter - jetzt auch Sretoje - erzählten von all dem, auch um zu gedenken.

And so we stood together in a tiny antiseptic room, the doctor and patient, a world apart.”

“Medicine Means (The Sonnet) MEDICINE means Mercy, MEDICINE means Empathy, MEDICINE means Dare, MEDICINE means Integrity, MEDICINE means Care, MEDICINE means Ingenuity, MEDICINE means Nobility, MEDICINE means Ethicality. Medicine is not a profession, Medicine is but a sacred calling. An average doctor saves a body, A good doctor saves a being. Pathogens exist to cash in on sickness. A doctor exists to be lost among patients.”
