Sherwin B. Nuland

Quotes

• “The tendency toward mysticism is ingrained in human nature. Superstition, religion, and medicine have made their long journey together, and even now are unable to let go of one another's hands.”

• “In its own unhurried way, age soundlessly and with persistence treads ever closer behind us on slippered feet, catches up, and finally blends itself into us—all while we are still denying its nearness.”

• “Tradition is a persuasive teacher, even when what it teaches is erroneous.”
