Famous quotes containing the words alternative and/or medicine:

    Our mother gives us our earliest lessons in love—and its partner, hate. Our father—our “second other”Melaborates on them. Offering us an alternative to the mother-baby relationship . . . presenting a masculine model which can supplement and contrast with the feminine. And providing us with further and perhaps quite different meanings of lovable and loving and being loved.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)

    Authority, though it err like others,
    Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself,
    That skins the vice o’ the top.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
