I have a message to give to the world, and I shall not be thwarted.

I spent more time on dark ships in danger zones than any other woman in the world.

I came to America to teach my method - not to enter a research experiment.

'O sleep, O gentle sleep,' I thought gratefully, 'Nature's soft nurse!'

The American doctor, in my opinion, possesses a combination of conservatism and that other quality which has put the United States in the forefront in almost every department of science - that is, an eagerness to know what it is really all about in order that he may not be the one left behind if there is something to it.

I do not want medical men to discuss whether or not my work is valuable, because I know what it will do. I want them to tell me how best this new knowledge of rapidly restoring paralysed people to health and strength can be applied where it is needed.
