quotation of the week
«one should not bring sympathy to a sick man. it is always kindly meant, and of course it has to be taken --but it isn't much of an improvement on castor oil. one who has a sick man's true interest at heart will forbear spoken sympathy, and bring him surreptitious soup and fried oysters and other trifles that the doctor has tabooed.»
~mark twain in a letter to mary mason fairbanks
