A book is like a piece of rope; it takes on meaning only in connection with the things it holds together. Norman Cousins
The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope. That is why the patient's hopes are the physician's secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription. Norman Cousins
