Famous quotes containing the words disease, control, paradise and/or fish:
“It is said, proverbially, that happy is the doctor who is called in when the disease is on its way out.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“If someone does something we disapprove of, we regard him as bad if we believe we can deter him from persisting in his conduct, but we regard him as mad if we believe we cannot. In either case, the crucial issue is our control of the other: the more we lose control over him, and the more he assumes control over himself, the more, in case of conflict, we are likely to consider him mad rather than just bad.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“But ‘twas beyond a mortal’s share
To wander solitary there:
Two Paradises ‘twere in one,
To live in Paradise alone.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“All the fish in us
had escaped for a minute.
The real fish did not mind.
We did not disturb their personal life.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
