Famous quotes containing the words field and/or medicine:
“Love to chawnk green apples an go swimmin in the
lake.
Hate to take the castor-ile they give for belly-ache!
Most all the time, the whole year round, there aint no flies on
me,
But jest fore Christmas Im as good as I kin be!”
—Eugene Field (18501895)
“We gave em wings to fly and they rained death on us. We gave em a voice to be heard around the world and they preach hatred to poison the minds of nations. Even the medicine we gave them to ease their pain is turned into a vice to enslave half mankind for the profit of a few. Ah, Janet, dear, dont you see? Every gift that science has given them has been twisted into a thing of hate and greed.”
—Karl Brown (18971990)
