Want to Read $ 8.99"Louis XIV of France said that only the small man desires always to be right. It struck Raven that the route to discovery and knowledge lay not in the desire to be right, but in one's preparedness to be wrong. Perhaps seeking proof that tested one's contention was as important as garnering proof to support it."-Ambrose Parry, The Art of Dying (Raven, Fisher, and Simpson, #2)

"Raven wondered how many enduring misapprehensions in medicine (and other fields, for that matter) were down to ambition and the desire to be vindicated. How many proud men had only sought out the evidence in support of their own hypotheses and eschewed that which might inconveniently put their ideas to the test? The world needed fewer such proud men, or perhaps it merely required more women like Sarah. An increase in the latter would guarantee a reduction in the former."-Ambrose Parry, The Art of Dying (Raven, Fisher, and Simpson, #2)
