“Many [medical practitioners] have abandoned “keeping up with the literature”. They are paralysed by the sheer enormity of the task: more than 20,000 journals in biomedicine are published each year and a consultant in a single medical sub-speciality may need to read fifteen to twenty publications a month to keep up to date." - Commentator on medical information in 1986
"The more one has seen of the good, the more one asks for the better." - John Mason Brown
"(There are only miracles, and to one degree or another they all soothe, pamper, and enrich.)

"If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown too?" - Steven Wright
"The things we know best are the things we haven't been taught." - Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues
