Summary

This quote humorously highlights the issue of lack of affordability in healthcare. The individual, unable to afford a necessary surgery, goes to the doctor seeking an alternative solution. The doctor, instead of addressing the financial constraint or exploring other options, nonchalantly suggests tampering with the X-rays as a way to deceive the medical condition. This sarcastic comment sheds light on the challenges of accessing healthcare due to financial limitations, ultimately revealing the absurdity of a system where solutions may be sought through manipulation rather than addressing the fundamental issue.

Wasn't marriage, like life, unstimulating and unprofitable and somewhat empty when too well ordered and protected and guarded? Wasn't it finer, more splendid, more nourishing, when it was, like life itself, a mixture of the sordid and the magnificent; of mud and stars; of earth and flowers; of love and hate and laughter and tears and ugliness and beauty and hurt?

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than politicians think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.
