Hot Wax Label

Famous quotes containing the words hot, wax and/or label:

    We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Lucretius
    Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
    smiling carves dreams, bright cells
    Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    There is no such “condition” as “schizophrenia” but the label is a social fact and the social fact a political event.
    —R.D. (Ronald David)
