Neural Tube Defects

Famous quotes containing the words tube and/or defects:

    One of the great natural phenomena is the way in which a tube of toothpaste suddenly empties itself when it hears that you are planning a trip, so that when you come to pack it is just a twisted shell of its former self, with not even a cubic millimeter left to be squeezed out.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    We often make use of envenomed praise, that reveals on the rebound, as it were, defects in those praised which we dare not expose any other way.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
