As we greet another fabulous Friday, with brains fried by the week and flitting toward the weekend, it is my pleasure to offer someone else's wisdom for your consideration.*
"Cancer is a stubborn disease, revealing its secrets grudgingly, and scientific progress is measured in inches, or better yet, in extra days survived. In a country conditioned to extraordinary success - to conquering the wilderness, to winning wars, to putting men on the moon - a country where most people count on getting their own way, cancer's intransigence bears witness to human frailty. "
- James S. Olson, Bathsheba's Breast: Women, Cancer, and History
Book review coming next week!
*Read: I may or may not be feeling too lazy to write my own post. I think I will stick with this theme for Fridays from now on...
