Famous quotes containing the words soft, serve and/or frozen:
“Surely thy body is thy mind,
For in thy face is nought to find,
Only thy soft unchristened smile,
That shadows neither love nor guile,”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
“We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“It was a good thing to have a couple of thousand people all rigid and frozen together, in the palm of one’s hand.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
