Famous quotes containing the words doctor and/or faustus:

    “It seems to me that your doctor [Tronchin] is more of a philosopher than a physician. As for me, I much prefer a doctor who is an optimist and who gives me remedies that will improve my health. Philosophical consolations are, after all, useless against real ailments. I know only two kinds of sickness—physical and moral: all the others are purely in the imagination.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Should I get married? Should I be good?
    Astound the girl next door with my velvet suit and faustus hood?”
    —Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
