John Irving Frases famosas

“Nós inventamos o que amamos e o que tememos.”

John Irving

“Uma sociedade democrática condena as pessoas ao acidente da concepção? - esbravejava o Dr. Larch. - O que somos nós…? Macacos?

“Quando chegou a Portland, já tirara as suas conclusões. Era um obstetra; trazia bebês ao mundo. Os colegas diziam que isso era "a obra de Deus". E era um aborteiro; também salvava as mães. Os colegas diziam que isso era "a obra do demônio"; mas era tudo a obra de Deus para Wilbur Larch. Como a Sra. Maxwell comentara: "A alma de um verdadeiro médico não pode deixar de ser ampla e generosa".”
