"It wasn't until I had performed by first……" — John B. S. Haldane

"It wasn't until I had performed by first autopsy that I realized that even the drabest human exteriors could contain the most beautiful viscera. After that, I would console myself for the plainness of my fellow bus-riders by dissecting them in my imagination."

— John B. S. Haldane
