Would I lay down my life to save my brother? No, but I would to save two brothers or eight cousins.
John B. S. HaldaneAn attempt to study the evolution of living organisms without reference to cytology would be as futile as an account of stellar evolution which ignored spectroscopy.
John B. S. HaldaneAnd if we must educate our poets and artists in science, we must educate our masters, labour and capital, in art.
John B. S. HaldaneMy final word, before I'm done, Is "Cancer can be rather fun"- Provided one confronts the tumour with a sufficient sense of humour. I know that cancer often kills, But so do cars and sleeping pills; And it can hurt till one sweats, So can bad teeth and unpaid debts. A spot of laughter, I am sure, Often accelerates one's cure; So let us patients do our bit To help the surgeons make us fit.
