Famous quotes containing the words therapy and/or treatment:
“Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
“Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
