Famous quotes containing the words medicine and/or biology:

    “We gave ‘em wings to fly and they rained death on us. We gave ‘em a voice to be heard around the world and they preach hatred to poison the minds of nations. Even the medicine we gave them to ease their pain is turned into a vice to enslave half mankind for the profit of a few. Ah, Janet, dear, don’t you see? Every gift that science has given them has been twisted into a thing of hate and greed.”
    —Karl Brown (1897–1990)

    “The “control of nature” is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and the convenience of man.”
    —Rachel Carson (1907–1964)
