Famous quotes containing the words doctor and/or faustus:

    A doctor is fascinated by death, and pain. And how much pain a man can endure.
    David Boehm, and Louis Friedlander. Dr. Richard Vollin (Bela Lugosi)

    Ah, Faustus,
    Now hast thou but one bare hour to live,
    And then thou must be damned perpetually!
    Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of heaven,
    That time may cease and midnight never come!
    Fair Nature’s eye, rise, rise again and make
    Perpetual day; or let this hour be but
    A year, a month, a week, a natural day,
    That Faustus may repent and save his soul!
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
