“Nutrition science, which after all only got started less than 200 years ago, is today approximately where surgery was in the year 1650 — very promising, very interesting to watch, but are you ready to let them operate on you? I think I’ll wait awhile.”

“Never ask the doctor what you should do. Ask him what he would do if he were in your place. You would be surprised at the difference.”

“I commend to you, fellow physician, the pragmatically useless treatment called poetry, whereby we might leave our patients less alone when our medicine leaves us all alone.”
