Quote by William Saroyan

Doctors don't know everything really. They understand matter, not spirit. And you and I live in spirit.

Doctors don't know everything really. They understand matter

Summary

This quote suggests that doctors, despite their knowledge and expertise in the physical realm, lack understanding of spiritual matters. It implies that humans exist not only as physical beings but also possess a spiritual dimension. Therefore, this statement emphasizes the limitations of medical professionals in comprehending the intangible aspects of human life, such as emotions, consciousness, and the interconnectedness between mind and body. It highlights the importance of acknowledging and nourishing the spiritual aspect of our existence beyond what doctors can address.
