Quotes from Barbara Wood

We walk the paths we choose.

He says not to list the patients we save but the ones we don't kill.

The poor prayed to become rich, and the rich prayed to become richer.

Wer den Willen hat, etwas zu tun, wird von denen, die es getan haben, in den Schatten gestellt.

malcriadas, moverse inútilmente

There was no doubt what must be done—the law was clear. Written centuries ago, the Lex Caesare decreed that if any woman died while pregnant, the living child was to be immediately cut out of her abdomen. This poor girl, whose name no one knew, was certain to die; but the baby inside her lived and must be given a chance to survive.      Selene was fearful. She had never before performed a Caesarean-law operation.

Forgiveness is not simply the absolving of an enemy, or one who has done us wrong. Forgiveness must encompass all those things which disturb the tranquility of our soul: the barking dog that robs you of sleep, the heat of summer, the cold of winter. Forgive the ingrown toenail, the flea that bites; forgive the cranky child, wrinkles, a forgotten birthday.

Do not fear for me, for I was born only once and i shall die only once.
