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.

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

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.

Some minds remain open long enough for the truth not only to enter but to pass on through by way of a ready exit without pausing anywhere along the route.
