• It seems to me that your doctor [Tronchin] is more of a philosopher than a physician. As for me, I much prefer a doctor who is anoptimist and who gives me remedies that will improve my health. Philosophical consolations are, after all, useless against real ailments. I know only two kinds of sickness--physical and moral: all the others are purely in the imagination.

  Lord Chesterfield

• Las grandes farmacéuticas necesitan enfermos para prosperar. Los pacientes, no las personas sanas, son sus clientes. Si todo el mundo se curara de una dolencia o enfermedad concreta, las empresas farmacéuticas perderían el 100% de sus beneficios con los productos que venden para esa dolencia. Lo que todo esto significa es que, debido a que la medicina moderna está tan fuertemente entrelazada con la cultura de los beneficios financieros, es más una industria de la enfermedad que una industria de la salud.

• Esta es la verdadera alegría de la vida: Ser utilizado para un propósito reconocido por uno mismo como poderoso, ser una fuerza de la naturaleza en lugar de un febril y egoísta terrón de achaques y agravios, quejarse de que el mundo no se dedique a hacerte feliz. Soy de la opinión de que mi vida pertenece a toda la comunidad y, mientras viva, tengo el privilegio de hacer por ella lo que pueda. Es una especie de antorcha espléndida la que tengo en mis manos por el momento y quiero hacerla arder lo más brillante posible antes de entregarla a las generaciones futuras.
