Famous quotes containing the words medicine and/or biology:

    “For this invention of yours will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn it, by causing them to neglect their memory, inasmuch as, from their confidence in writing, they will recollect by the external aid of foreign symbols, and not by the internal use of their own faculties. Your discovery, therefore, is a medicine not for memory, but for recollection,—for recalling to, not for keeping in mind.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    “The “control of nature” is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and the convenience of man.”
    —Rachel Carson (1907–1964)
