Marie Francois Xavier Bichat quotes
-
“Medicine is an incoherent assemblage of incoherent ideas, and is, perhaps, of all the physiological Sciences, that which best shows the caprice of the human mind. What did I say! It is not a Science for a methodical mind. It is a shapeless assemblage of inaccurate ideas, of observations often puerile, of deceptive remedies, and of formulae as fantastically conceived as they are tediously arranged.”
-- Marie Francois Xavier Bichat -
“Open up a few corpses: you will dissipate at once the darkness that observation alone could not dissipate.”
-- Marie Francois Xavier Bichat -
“Life consists in the sum of the functions, by which death is resisted.”
-- Marie Francois Xavier Bichat
