“But whatever you do, take neither yourselves nor your fellow-creatures too seriously. There is tragedy enough in our daily routine, but there is room too for a keen sense of the absurdities and incongruities of life, and in the shifting panorama no one sees better than the doctor the perennial sameness of men’s ways.” MenWayEnoughRoomsCreaturesDoctorsTragedyFellowsRoutineAbsurdityShiftingSamenessDaily RoutinesIncongruityPanorama Book:The Quotable Osler Source: The Quotable Osler

“There is something disorderly about the death of a young person. In a universe disturbed by so much over which we have no control, an untimely tragedy rattles the teeth of our already shaken confidence. We want to domesticate death, fight it on our own turf, in familiar rooms with shades drawn evenly, top sheets turned back, and a circle of hushed voices closing in.” WantPersonsYoungDeathFightingUniverseVoiceRoomsTragedyCirclesTeethFamiliarShadeSheetsClosingDisturbedTurf Book:A Leak in the Heart: Tales from a Woman's Life Source: A Leak in the Heart: Tales from a Woman's Life
