This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“No stile of writing is so delightful as that which is all pith, which never omits a necessary word, nor uses an unnecessary one.”
