Hi qpm,
The author of this quote is W. H. Auden.
Here is the entire quote:
"A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of
them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a
craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist.
This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a
good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may
have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire
their good before his own."
-- W. H. (Wystan Hugh) Auden (1907?1973), Anglo-American poet.
?Medicine,? A Certain World (1970).
