Human Medicine

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or medicine:

    All human knowledge takes the form of interpretation.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienest who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous.... The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
