Coronary Heart Disease

Famous quotes containing the words coronary, heart and/or disease:

    Divorce is the psychological equivalent of a triple coronary bypass.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    When the bond of love broke,
    the respect born of affection withered,
    good feelings fled,
    and that man walked before me
    like any other,
    Good Friend,
    I imagine all this,
    think on days gone by
    and wonder why
    my heart hasn’t cracked
    into a hundred bits.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.
    Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
