Labs, too, can become machines. In science, it is more often a pejorative description than a complimentary one: an efficient, thrumming, technically accomplished laboratory is like a robot orchestra that produces perfectly pitched tunes but no music. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
The most intriguing correlations obtained by the Minnesota study were also among the most unexpected. Social and political attitudes between twins reared apart were just as concordant as those between twins reared together: liberals clustered with liberals, and orthodoxy was twinned with orthodoxy. Religiosity and faith were also strikingly concordant: twins were either both faithful or both nonreligious. Traditionalism, or "willingness to yield to authority," was significantly correlated. So were characteristics such as "assertiveness, drive for leadership, and a taste for attention." Other ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Illness might progressively vanish so might identity. Grief might be diminished, but so might tenderness. Traumas might be erased but so might history. Infirmities might disappear, but so might vulnerability. Chance would become mitigated, but so, inevitably, would choice. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
I don't feel the depression the people who are always looking back to the '50s, to 'Father Knows Best' feel. I can see the coming of another glorious era. ~ Bharati Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Bharati Mukherjee
Cancer is not a concentration camp, but it shares the quality of annihilation: it negates the possibility of life outside and beyond itself; it subsumes all living. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Medicine, I said, begins with storytelling. Patients tell stories to describe illness; doctors tell stories to understand it. Science tells its own story to explain diseases. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Unidentified flying objects, abominable snowmen, the Loch Ness monster and human cancer viruses. - Medical World News, 1974, on four "mysteries" widely reported and publicized but never seen ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
When this engineer, Sergeant Mukherjee, grabbed me by the arm ~ Max Brooks
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Max Brooks
I'm human, we all are - all doctors are - and grieving is a natural part of medicine. As a doctor, grieving is a natural part of medicine. If you deny that, again, you'd get into this trap of curing and victory. I think grief is very important. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Second, proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes typically lie at the hubs of cellular signaling pathways. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Some cancers are curable, while others are highly incurable. The spectrum is enormous. Metastatic pancreatic cancer is a highly incurable disease, whereas some leukemia forms are very curable. There is a big difference between one form and another. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
A rainbow looks good because the colours demonstrate restrain. Otherwise it would be an ugly blob. ~ Arindam Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Arindam Mukherjee
God is in no hurry, so why should I be?"), Griffith ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Lepers were a common sight all over India and in every part of Calcutta, but extending help beyond dropping a coin or two into their rag-wrapped stumps was not. As a child I was convinced even touching a spot a leper had rubbed against would lead to infection. ~ Bharati Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Bharati Mukherjee
Her veins and arteries ran with a bitter fluid, not blood, Adinath exclaimed in fury one day. ~ Neel Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Neel Mukherjee
Where, in Heaven's name, could anyone even be alone in Calcutta? What hanky-panky business, in my mother's words, could go on? Everyone knew the rules and the rules stated caste and community narrowed the range of intimate contact. ~ Bharati Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Bharati Mukherjee
India introduced Britain to vegetarianism - see Tristram Stuart's excellent first book on this - and it is possible, indeed all too easy, to be a vegetarian in India and eat extraordinarily good, varied food every day, with very few 'repeats.' ~ Neel Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Neel Mukherjee
It turns out that the very genes that turn on in cancer cells perform vital functions in normal cells. In other words, the very genes that allow our embryos to grow or our brains to grow, our bodies to grow, if you mutate them, if you distort them, then you unleash cancer. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
I don't read my books, so I don't allow myself the dangerous luxury of toying with the idea of doing things differently. ~ Neel Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Neel Mukherjee
Many of my patients continued to smoke, often furtively, during their treatment for cancer (I could smell the acrid whiff of tobacco on their clothes as they signed the consent forms for chemotherapy). ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Bhakti in religion may be a road to the salvation of the soul. But in politics, Bhakti or hero-worship is a sure road to degradation and to eventual dictatorship. (Mukherjee ~ Madhav Godbole
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Madhav Godbole
The landscape of carcinogens is not static either. We are chemical apes: having discovered the capacity to extract, purify, and react molecules to produce new and wondrous molecules, we have begun to spin a new chemical universe around ourselves. Our bodies, our cells, our genes are thus being immersed and reimmersed in a changing flux of molecules
pesticides, pharmaceutical drugs, plastics, cosmetics, estrogens, food products, hormones, even novel forms of physical impulses, such as radiation and magnetism. Some of these, inevitably, will be carcinogenic. We cannot wish this world away; our task, then, is to sift through it vigilantly to discriminate bona fide carcinogens from innocent and useful bystanders. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Bill by bill, and letter by letter, his scientific imagination was slowly choked by administrative work. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing. - Voltaire ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Children with cancer, as one surgeon noted, were typically "tucked in the farthest recesses of the hospital wards." They were on their deathbeds anyway, the pediatricians argued; wouldn't it be kinder and gentler, some insisted, to just "let them die in peace"? ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Indeed, cancer's emergence in the world is the product of a double negative: it becomes common only when all other killers themselves have been killed. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
In 2010, about six hundred thousand Americans, and more than 7 million humans around the world, will die of cancer. In the United States, one in three women and one in two men will develop cancer during their lifetime. A quarter of all American deaths, and about 15 percent of all deaths worldwide, will be attributed to cancer. In some nations, cancer will surpass heart disease to become the most common cause of death. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Mother Teresa's detractors have accused her of overemphasizing Calcuttans' destitution and of coercing conversion from the defenseless. In the context of lost causes, Mother Teresa took on battles she knew she could win. Taken together, it seems to me, the criticisms of her work do not undermine or topple her overall achievement. ~ Bharati Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Bharati Mukherjee
all this immorality and opportunism, this was what characterised them, not altruism, as the stories they had spun would have you believe. But then, this is a world whose running fuel is anecdotes and stories, he reminds himself. ~ Neel Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Neel Mukherjee
Most of the selected essays share a common thread: They describe how science happens. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
I had just begun an M.A. in Creative Writing, and I had to write a novel, so I began writing a novel that later became 'A Life Apart.' ~ Neel Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Neel Mukherjee
Mary Lasker was an entrepreneur; she was a socialite. She was kind of a legendary networker. She became interested in saying, 'Well, you know, if these diseases don't have political support we'll never conquer them.' And she made, really, cancer her special cause. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
But in 1960, oncology was not yet ready for this proposal. Not until several years later did it strike the board that had fired Li so hastily that the patients he had treated with the prolonged maintenance strategy would never relapse. This strategy--which cost Min Chiu Li his job--resulted in the first chemotherapeutic cure of cancer in adults. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
The government of India and the government of Jammu and Kashmir are determined to ensure that every Kashmiri lives with dignity having equal rights and equal opportunities. ~ Pranab Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Pranab Mukherjee
This is the hope the Maoists offered, the hope of dark clouds gathering over parched, fractured soil; it could rain or it could not, but they brought something new into their lives: possibility. ~ Neel Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Neel Mukherjee
I have seen vast, perhaps unbelievable, changes during the journey that has brought me from the flicker of a lamp in a small Bengal village to the chandeliers of Delhi. ~ Pranab Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Pranab Mukherjee
A Pap smear would give a woman a chance to receive preventive care [and] greatly decrease the likelihood of her ever developing cancer. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Mutants are necessary to maintain the essence of our selves. Our genomes has negotiated a fragile balance between counterpoised forces, pairing strand with opposite strand, mixing past and future, pitting memory against desire. It is the most human of all things that we possess. Its stewardship may be the ultimate test of knowledge and discernment of our species. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dwijen Mukherjee quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Our minds are like the universe. How do we know what's hidden in some corner of that space? Beyond the galaxies we know. To places where light doesn't travel...We feel, write, think and argue about what we see. But the unknown exists and sometimes, makes an unexpected appearance. I experienced a part of that unknown through a man. ~ Chitrangada Mukherjee
