“Chinese parents…assume strength, not fragility….”
“Chinese parents demand perfect grades because they
believe that their child can get them.”
Assume Strength, Not Fragility
“My sentence is for open war: of wiles
More unexpert, I boast not…
…let us rather choose,
Armed with Hell’s flames and fury all at once
O’er Heaven’s high towers to force resistless
way
Turning our tortures into horrid arms
Against the torturer….”
…which, if not victory, is yet revenge!”
Moloch
“First, what revenge? The towers of heaven are filled
With armed watch, that renders all access
Impregnable….”
“…this is now
Our doom; which if we can sustain and bear,
Our supreme foe in time may much remit
His anger….”
Belial
“We can create, and…
Thrive under evil, and work ease out of pain
Through labor and endurance….”
“…this desert soil
Wants not her hidden lustre, gems, and gold;
Nor want we skill or art, from whence to raise
Magnificence; and what can heaven show more?”
“We can create, and…

“…What if we find
Some easier enterprise? There is a place
….another world…the happy seat
Of some new race called Man….”

An easier enterprise begins…
“…we as surgeons have barely scratched the
surface of the problem of coronary artery
disease, and yet this is a problem which is
far greater in scope than that of all other
heart disease combined.”

Who ≠ What
“What youthful mother, a shape upon her lap…
Would think her Son, did she but see that shape
With sixty or more winters on its head,
A compensation for the pang of his birth,
Or the uncertainty of his setting forth?”

O chestnut-tree, great-rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?”
