“Nobody dies nowadays of fatal truths: there are too many antidotes to them”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Never take the antidote before the poison”
Latin Proverb
“There's a Bible on the shelf there. But I keep it next to Voltaire-poison and antidote.”
Bertrand Russell
“Novels so often provide an anodyne and not an antidote, glide one into torpid slumbers instead of rousing one with a burning brand.”
Virginia Woolf
“Fortunately, if it's recognized early enough, there is an antidote.”
Dr. Fredric Gordon
“The best antidote I have found is to yearn for something. As long as you yearn, you can't congeal: there is a forward motion to yearning.”
Gail Godwin
“The use of incense was very common in olden times. It was employed for profane purposes as an antidote to the lassitude caused by very great heat, as perfumes are now used. Mention of its introduction into pagan worship is made by classical writers, but today it has brought people together.”
David Stern
