An adventurer in his youth, he went on to study medicine, practice psychiatry, and befriend several noted men of letters.

Additional quotes by Richard Maurice Bucke
Only a little while now and we shall be again together and with us those other noble and well-beloved souls gone before. I am sure I shall meet you and them; that you and I shall talk of a thousand things and of that unforgettable day and of all that followed it; and that we shall clearly see that all were parts of an infinite plan which was wholly wise and good.
