Famous quotes containing the word physicians:
“The most dangerous physicians are those born actors who imitate born physicians with a perfectly deceptive guile.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The sick are parasites on society. In a certain state it is indecent to go on living. To continue vegetating in cowardly dependence on physicians and machinations once the meaning of life, the right to life, has been lost ought to occasion a deep contempt within society.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
