Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or treatment:
“The most distinct and beautiful statement of any truth must take at last the mathematical form.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts.... The question Why did you start using narcotics in the first place? should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
