“What else is the help of medicine than love?”

“Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”

“But what really is immorality? And what does helping someone really mean? Helping them to be like everyone else, or helping them to be themselves?”

“Self love is the best medicine.”

“Believing in the one thing
That has gotten us this far — That's what love is for
To help us through it
That's what love is for
Nothing else can do it
Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for.”

“Well, my interpretation is no more valid than anyone else’s, but I would say in terms of medicine, people want to take control of their own lives, and ironically they seem to think that they are taking control of their lives more by using so-called complementary or alternative medicines than by using orthodox medicine. In other words, they think it’s a statement of originality and individuality. To you and me it seems self-evidently ridiculous, this homeopathic medicine. It is so preposterous, and yet some people I know and respect insist on believing it.”

“People cain't help being what they are any more than a skunk can help being a skunk. Don't you think if they had their choice they would rather be something else? Sure they would. People are just weak.”

“When you care more if someone else lives than you do about yourself- is that what [love is]?”

“Your love is like bad medicine”

“Just my luck, on top of everything else I had to take baboon medicine.”
