  1. Medicine has suffered the full effects of the scientific outpouring of information. ... As a stopgap measure, medical schools have kept the total number of years constant, but have lengthened the per-week teaching load. Thus medical students at Harvard attend twice as many hours of classes per week as law or business students. Of necessity, this makes medical education a very passive business and deprives the student of the single most important thing he desperately needs to learn while at school -- how to initiate the educational process for himself, later on, when he is a practitioner.
    -- Michael Crichton (Five Patients, 1970)

  2. Certainty is the currency of fundamentalism; but being unwilling to question what you believe isn't a strength, it's a weakness.

  3. Hammerhead Silhouette, Galápagos

    In the Galápagos Islands, hammerhead sharks are often encountered by divers in significant numbers due to the nutrient-rich waters. A single scalloped hammerhead was observed moving effortlessly through a school of fish, illustrating the species' critical conservation status while also highlighting the strength of ocean currents in this unique ecosystem.

  4. Show me a business or a school or a church that is preoccupied with its customers or clients, determined to do its best for them and not just to survive for the sake of surviving, and I'll bet you that they don't have time for too many committees, for forms, for politicking or for nitpicking about mistakes. Those are the organizations which are fun to be in, which give you room to be yourself, to express yourself, to grow.

  9. People are asking me about the race problem.... I know of no race problem. The great problem that confronts the American people to-day is a national problem -- whether this great nation of ours is great enough to live up to its own convictions, carry out its own declaration of independence, and execute the provisions of its own constitution.
    -- Frederick Douglass (1893)
