Famous quotes containing the words knot and/or theory:

    “Separation’s fire
    can be borne
    when there’s a knot of hope,
    but Mother,
    when my love leaves home
    and stays in the same village,
    it’s far worse than death.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “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)
