Traumatic Brain Injuries

Famous quotes containing the words traumatic, brain and/or injuries:

    There’s a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats.
    Diane Arbus (1923–1971)

    The shepherd is the brain behind the dog’s brain,
    But his control of dog, like dog’s of sheep
    Is never absolute—that’s the beauty of it.
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    Men are not only apt to forget the kindnesses and injuries that have been done them, but which is a great deal more, they hate the persons that have obliged them, and lay aside their resentments against those that have used them ill. The trouble of returning favors and revenging wrongs is a slavery, it seems, which they can very hardly submit to.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
