Sherwin B. Nuland Quote: “Whether the result of wear, tear, and exhaustion of resources or whether genetically programmed, all life has a finite span and each species has its own particular longevity.

Many a life has no doubt been saved by the absence of panicky response to sudden danger.”

Sherwin B. Nuland Quote: “Far from being irreplaceable, we should be replaced.

Sherwin B.
