For each illness that doctors cure with medicine, they provoke ten in healthy people by
inoculating them with the virus that is a thousand times more powerful than any microbe:
the idea that one is ill.
Marcel Proust
Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of
which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing.
Voltaire
The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers
from the ''Watchtower'' itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This
pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they
keep getting busted.
Charles Bukowski
Economics is haunted by more fallacies than any other study known to man. This is no
accident. The inherent difficulties of the subject would be great enough in any case, but
they are multiplied a thousandfold by a factor that is insignificant in , say, physics,
mathematics, or medicine -- the special pleading of selfish interests.
Henry Hazlitt
An anthill increases by accumulation. Medicine is consumed by distribution. That which is
feared lessens by association. This is the thing to understand.

Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and

Luther Burbank
A faithful friend is the medicine of life.

Orison Swett Marden
Hope, the patent medicine for disease, disaster, sin.
Wallace Rice
The miserable have no other medicine but only hope.
William Shakespeare
Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienist
who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous. The true
aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the
consequences of their vices.
H. L. Mencken
I've studied now Philosophy and Jurisprudence, Medicine -- and even, alas! Theology --

To array a man's will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine.

The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth: and he that is wise will not abhor them.

Medicine is a collection of uncertain prescriptions, the results of which, taken

Prince Of Wales Charles
Today's medicine is at the end of its road. It can no longer be transformed, modified,
readjusted. That's been tried too often. Today's medicine must DIE in order to be reborn.
We must prepare its complete renovation.
Maurice Delort
The orthodox school has witnessed for centuries that nature itself has never once cured
any existing disease with another dissimilar one, however intense. What must we think of
this school, which nevertheless has continued to treat chronic diseases allopathically,
with medicines and formulas that can only cause a disease condition --God knows which
--dissimilar to the one being treated? Even if these physicians have not hitherto observed
nature attentively enough, the miserable results of their treatment should have taught
them that they were on the wrong road.
Samuel Hahnemann
Walking is a man's best medicine.
Hippocrates
What medicines do not heal, the lance will; what the lance does not heal, fire will.
Hippocrates
Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organized to serve human health, but
only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.
Ivan Illich
A little rebellion now and then... is a medicine necessary for the sound health of

Thomas Jefferson
We have to ask ourselves whether medicine is to remain a humanitarian and respected
profession or a new but depersonalized science in the service of prolonging life rather

There are three subjects on which the knowledge of the medical profession in general is

Sir William Osler
The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from

Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding
pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood

The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.
Voltaire
Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not
appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not
faithfulness; days of joy, but not peace and happiness.
Henrik Ibsen
Money will buy a bed but not sleep; books but not brains; food but not appetite; finery
but not beauty; a house but not a home; medicine but not health; luxuries but not culture;
amusements but not happiness; religion but not salvation; a passport to everywhere but
heaven.

Pride, like laudanum and other poisonous medicines, is beneficial in small, though

Thomas Jefferson
In selling as in medicine, prescription before diagnosis is malpractice.
Tony Alesandra
Nobody dast blame this man. For a salesman, there is no rock bottom to the life. He don't
put a bolt to a nut, he don't tell you the law or give you medicine. He's a man way out
there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back
-- that's an earthquake. And then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and
you're finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes
with the territory.
Arthur Miller
Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and

Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by
temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever.
Samuel Smiles

Ralph Waldo Emerson
One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who
aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Both the Moral Majority, who are recycling medieval language to explain AIDS, and those
ultra-leftists who attribute AIDS to some sort of conspiracy, have a clearly political
analysis of the epidemic. But even if one attributes its cause to a microorganism rather
than the wrath of God, or the workings of the CIA, it is clear that the way in which AIDS
has been perceived, conceptualized, imagined, researched and financed makes this the most
political of diseases.
Dennis Altman
From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been
solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8,
000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by
actually curing anyone.
Barbara Ehrenreich

Anthony Perkins
AIDS occupies such a large part in our awareness because of what it has been taken to

Susan Sontag
AIDS obliges people to think of sex as having, possibly, the direst consequences: suicide.
Or murder.
Susan Sontag
The moral immune system of this country has been weakened and attacked, and the AIDS virus
is the perfect metaphor for it. The malignant neglect of the last twelve years has led to
breakdown of our country's immune system, environmentally, culturally, politically,
spiritually and physically.
Barbara Streisand
The AIDS epidemic has rolled back a big rotting log and revealed all the squirming life
underneath it, since it involves, all at once, the main themes of our existence: sex,
death, power, money, love, hate, disease and panic. No American phenomenon has been so
compelling since the Vietnam War.
Edmund White
Electronic aids, particularly domestic computers, will help the inner migration, the
opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there, but the stuff
inside your head. It's going to be commercial and nasty at the same time.
J. G. Ballard
Everyone detected with AIDS should be tattooed in the upper forearm, to protect common
needle users, and on the buttock, to prevent the victimization of other homosexuals.
William F. Buckley
The smallest effort is not lost. Each wavelet on the ocean tost aids in the ebb-tide or

Charles Mackay
There rise her timeless capitals of empires daily born, whose plinths are laid at midnight

Groucho Marx
Literature is being taught as though it were only political medicine or political
poison--a view that is not only illiberal but illiterate.
Louis Menand
Prostitution is the supreme triumph of capitalism. Worst of all, prostitution reinforces
all the old dumb clichés about women's sexuality; that they are not built to enjoy sex
and are little more than walking masturbation aids, things to be DONE TO, things so
sensually null and void that they have to be paid to indulge in fornication, that women
can be had, bought, as often as not sold from one man to another. When the sex war is won
prostitutes should be shot as collaborators for their terrible betrayal of all women, for
the moral tarring and feathering they give indigenous women who have had the bad luck to
live in what they make their humping ground.
Julie Burchill
Old maids sweeten their tea with scandal.
Josh Billings
Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of
refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads,
and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids
always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you,
is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?
William Morris
In the name of Hypocrites, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever

Luis Bunuel
I trust that a graduate student some day will write a doctoral essay on the influence of

Myself when young did eagerly frequent doctor and saint, and heard great argument about it

Omar Khayyam
If I had my way books would not be written in English, but in an exceedingly difficult
secret language that only skilled professional readers and story-tellers could interpret.
Then people like you would have to go to public halls and pay good prices to hear the

of scaring off all amateur authors, retired politicians, country doctors and
I-Married-a-Midget writers who would not have the patience to learn the secret language.

The race of prophets is extinct. Europe is
becoming set in its ways, slowly embalming itself beneath the wrappings of its borders,
its factories, its law-courts and its universities. The frozen Mind cracks between the
mineral staves which close upon it. The fault lies with your moldy systems, your logic of
2 + 2 = 4. The fault lies with you, Chancellors, caught in the net of syllogisms. You
manufacture engineers, magistrates, doctors, who know nothing of the true mysteries of the
body or the cosmic laws of existence. False scholars blind outside this world,
philosophers who pretend to reconstruct the mind. The least act of spontaneous creation is
a more complex and revealing world than any metaphysics.
Antonin Artaud
Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of
travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous
doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. What
previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find
room.
Jose Ortega Y Gasset

Lord Palmerston
If your time ain't come not even a doctor can kill you.
American Proverb Sayings of American Origin
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. Auden
When a man goes through six years training to be a doctor he will never be the same. He
knows too much.
Enid Bagnold
One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is
precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the
value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are
callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is
incapable of knowing what a human life is worth.
John Berger
Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
Erma Bombeck
Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.

Doctors are just the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you,

Oliver Goldsmith
I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek

denoting his contempt for the advice of the layman. ''Oh,'' replied his patient, with no
malice aforethought, ''he told me to come and see you.''

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy will make the ancient method of drilling holes in a

wife or a mistress. The lawyer says: "For sure a mistress is better. If you have a
wife and want a divorce, it causes all sorts of legal problems. The doctor says:
"It's better to have a wife because the sense of security lowers your stress and is
good for your health. The mathematician says: " You're both wrong. It's best to have
both so that when the wife thinks you're with the mistress and the mistress thinks you're
with your wife --- you can do some mathematics.
A Joke
A doctor, an architect, and a computer scientist were arguing about whose profession was
the oldest. In the course of their arguments, they got all the way back to the Garden of
Eden, whereupon the doctor said, "The medical profession is clearly the oldest,
because Eve was made from Adam's rib, as the story goes, and that was a simply incredible
surgical feat." The architect did not agree. He said, "But if you look at the
Garden itself, in the beginning there was chaos and void, and out of that, the Garden and
the world were created. So God must have been an architect." The computer scientist,
who had listened to all of this said, "Yes, but where do you think the chaos came
from?"
