“Człowiek rozsądny przystosowuje się do świata; nierozsądny nie ustaje w próbach przystosowania świata do siebie. Zatem cały postęp zależy od ludzi nierozsądnych. ”
“In spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody. The essential substance of every thought and feeling remains incommunicable, locked up in the impenetrable strong-room of the individual soul and body. Our life is a sentence of perpetual solitary confinement.”
“When I was young, I was torn between two passionate, conflicting interests and ambitions - the pursuit of science and the pursuit of art. I found no reconciliation until I became a physician. I think all physicians enjoy a singular good fortune, in that we can give full expression to both sides of our natures, and never have to suppress one in favour of the other.”
