Famous quotes containing the words science and/or medicine:

    “Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius.”
    —Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    “Good medicine is bitter to the taste.”
    —Chinese proverb.
