Imperfection

“We look for medicine to be an orderly field
of knowledge and procedure. But it is not.
It is an imperfect science,
an enterprise of constantly changing knowledge,
uncertain information, fallible individuals,
and at the same time lives on the line.
There is science in what we do,
yes, but also habit, intuition,
and sometimes plain old guessing.
The gap between what we know and what we aim for persists.
And this gap complicates everything we do.” 
― Atul Gawande,
Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on An Imperfect Science

Sailing

"Flying might not be all plain sailing,
but the fun of it is worth the price."
-Amelia Earhart
