Abraham Verghese Quotes, Broken Quotes, Tasks Quotes

According to Shiva, life is in the end about fixing holes. Shiva didn't speak in metaphors. fixing holes is precisely what he did. Still, it's an apt metaphor for our profession.

It is the task of a lifetime. We'll leave much unfinished for the next generation.
