Famous quotes containing the word diseases:

    “Even diseases have lost their prestige, there aren’t so many of them left.... Think it over ... no more syphilis, no more clap, no more typhoid ... antibiotics have taken half the tragedy out of medicine.”
    —Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)

    “But what is quackery? It is commonly an attempt to cure the diseases of a man by addressing his body alone. There is need of a physician who shall minister to both soul and body at once, that is, to man. Now he falls between two stools.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
