“Nursing is an art… it requires an
exclusive devotion as hard a
preparation, as any painter's or
sculptor's work; for what is the
having to do with dead canvas or
dead marble, compared with
having to do with the living body,
the temple of God's spirit? It is
one of the Fine Arts: I had almost
said, the finest of Fine Arts.”
~Florence Nightingale
