Dr. Royer-Collard: Quote for September 19, 2009

My colleagues have called me old-fashioned, even barbaric. But here we favor an aggressive course of treatment. I do not seek popularity or renown, Monsieur Debene. Mine is a higher mission. To take God's tiny blunders and those He has forsaken and condition them with the same force, the same rigor one would employ to train a feral dog or a wild stallion.

This may not be pretty but it is mercy, just the same. A few more months of this, and he'll be fine.
from: Quills (2000)
Michael Caine acted as Dr. Royer-Collard
