One cannot but wonder at this constantly recurring phrase getting something for nothing, as if it were the peculiar and perverse ambition of disturbers of society.

I'm afraid of being lazy and complacent. I'm afraid of taking myself too seriously.

People are very complacent with their animal models. But this begs the question of whether there exists a good model of cancer.
