Cutting for Stone - Abraham Verghese.
The key to your happiness is to own your own slippers, own who you are , own how you look , own your family , own the talents you have ,and own the ones you dont.
If you keep saying your slippers arent yours, you will die searching , you will die bitter, always feeling you were promised more. Not only our actions, but also our omissions,become our destiny.
All sons should write down every word of what their fathers have to say to them
-pg 424.
What incredible discoveries one could make with ones eyes closed.
- pg 303.
What she lacked in education, she made up for in character.
(Marion on Almaz. pg: 336).
I am ashamed of our human capacity to hurt and main one another, to desecrate the boad. Yet it allows me to see the cabalistic harmony of heart peeking out behind lung, f liver and spleen consulting each other under the dome of the diaphragm - these things leave me speechless.
-pg 9
She resented the inverse chauvinism of Indians who could only admire things foreign.
-pg /?
Wasnt that the definition of home ? Not where you are from , but where you are wanted ?
- pg 95
Perhaps deep in every being, there lingers a desire to bring the circle of life back to its starting point.
-pg 101.
When you win, you often lose, thats just a fact.
-pg 130.
There is no currency to straighten a warped spirit, or open a closed heart , a selfish heart.
- pg 131.
God will judge us ,by.. what we did to relieve the suffering of our fellow human beings.I dont think God cares what doctrine we embrace.
-pg 188.
A rich man's faults are covered with money, but a surgeons faults are covered with earth.
-pg 203.
If 'ecstasy ' meant a sudden intrusion of the sacred into the oridinary, then it had just happened to me.
-pg 648 .
The rold turns on our every action, and our every omission, weather we know it or not.
-pg 657.
