• There cannot always be fresh fields of conquest by the knife; there must be portions of the human frame that will ever remain sacred from its intrusions, at least in the surgeon's hands.

The abdomen, the chest, and the brain will be forever shut from the intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon.

• Once I went professionally to an archaeological expedition-and I learnt something there. In the course of an excavation, when something comes up out of the ground, everything is cleared away very carefully all around it. You take away the loose earth, and you scrape here and there with a knife until finally your object is there, all alone, ready to be drawn and photographed with no extraneous matter confusing it. That is what I have been seeking to do-clear away the extraneous matter so that we can see the truth-the naked shining truth.

  Then weave them into a blanket
  To protect you.

• Blood fills my mouth. Fire sears my veins. I choke back a howl. The silver knife slips--the
  choice is mine.

  I plunge in the knife.
  This is my sacrifice--
  I am the monster.
