Central Nervous

Famous quotes containing the words central and/or nervous:

    The fantasies inspired by TB in the last century, by cancer now, are responses to a disease thought to be intractable and capricious—that is, a disease not understood—in an era in which medicine’s central premise is that all diseases can be cured.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Last night I fled until I came
    To streets where leaking casements dripped
    Stale lamplight from the corpse of flame;
    A nervous window bled.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
