Oliver Sacks Quote and Music Therapy Video

Quotes of note

"(I sense) a certain doubleness in me: that I feel myself a naturalist and a physician both; and that I am equally interested in diseases and people; perhaps, too, that I am equally, if inadequately, a theorist and a dramatist, am equally drawn to the scientific and the romantic, and continually see both in the human condition . . ."

-Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
