William DeVries quotes
-
“We all felt the majesty of the body. In a very short period of time we had seen something that was bigger than each of us. A lot of people, even those who were not religious, were reverent and attributed the success to God. As we saw the artificial heart beat in Dr. Clark, the feeling was not aren't we great, but aren't we small.”
-- William DeVries -
“Sigma Chi, more than anything else, got me involved with the people who knew how to study, and they helped me. I learned from them. The Norman Shield is still quite applicable now.”
-- William DeVries -
“I would have picked up the artificial heart and thrown it on the floor and walked out and said he's dead if the press had not been there.”
-- William DeVries -
“[I] could see how nervous everybody was in the beginning and how silent it was when we had trouble with the artificial heart [during the surgery, but later in the operation, when it was working, there were moments] of loud and raucous humor.”
-- William DeVries -

“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.”
