Vincent – Two quotes from Chasing My Cure by David Fajgenbaum
John Paul II: Dear young people, whether you are believers or not, accept the call to be virtuous. This means being strong within, having a big heart, being rich in the highest sentiments, bold in the truth, courageous in freedom, constant in responsibility, generous in love, invincible in hope.
David: Never stop questioning and always follow the data.
