Crow Medicine Show

Famous quotes containing the words crow, medicine and/or show:

    Only brooms
    Know the devil
    Still exists,

    That the snow grows whiter
    After a crow has flown over it,
    Charles Simic (b. 1938)

    Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienest who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous.... The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    You show up
    and you rattle off endearments.
    Lucky Man,
    that’s where your goodness stops,
    and tell me this:
    Who can show somebody
    the workings of the heart
    by tearing it in two?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
