Famous quotes containing the words doctor and/or faustus:

    The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    Should I get married? Should I be good?
    Astound the girl next door with my velvet suit and faustus hood?
    Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
