• Florence Nightingale was an amazing figure. She created the American Red Cross. She saw the suffering from bad health conditions on the battlefield and in the military hospitals, and she fought like crazy to change the conditions; to make sure that the doctors washed their hands and practiced sanitary measures. She put herself at great risks.

• For all her active goodness, Florence Nightingale herself was far from being the angelic figure of popular adulation: according to Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians she was a self-righteous, domineering amazon, who was ruthless in her compassion, merciless in her philantropy, destructive in friendships, obsessional in her list for power, and demonic in her saintliness.

• IN MEMORIAM: FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
  She whom we love, our Lady of Compassion,
  Can never die, for Love forbids her death.
  Love has bent down in his old kindly fashion,
  And breathed upon her his immortal breath.
  On wounded soldiers, in their anguish lying,
  Her gentle spirit shall descend like rain.
  Where the white flag with the red cross is flying,
  There shall she dwell, the vanquisher of pain.

• In these days before antiseptics, doctors themselves also suffered high mortality rates. Florence Nightingale, a nurse during the Crimean War (1853-1856), watched one particularly inept surgeon cut both himself and, somehow, a bystander while blundering about during an amputation. Both men contracted an infection and died, as did the patient. Nightingale commented that it was the only surgery she'd ever seen with 300 percent mortality.

• You have the most revolting Florence Nightingale complex,' said Mrs. Smiling. It is not that at all, and well you know it. On the whole, I dislike my fellow beings; I find them so difficult to understand. But I have a tidy mind and untidy lives irritate me. Also, they are uncivilized.

• Cuando tenía 12 años, leía misterios de Nancy Drew y biografías de Madame Curie y Florence Nightingale y libros sobre chicas que aman los caballos o van a la escuela de enfermería. Pertenecía a las Girl Scouts, sacaba sobresalientes en el colegio y rara vez desobedecía a mis padres. Seguía teniendo una colección de muñecas Barbie en mi habitación y casi nunca hablaba con chicos.
