Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or removal:

    Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (b. 1926)

    Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
