Prescription Drug Abuse

Famous quotes containing the words prescription, drug and/or abuse:

“Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)

“Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

“Let us not forget who we are. Drug abuse is a repudiation of everything America is.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
