Psychiatry

I owe my complete restoration to a discovery I made while being treated at that particular very expensive sanatorium. I discovered there was an endless source of robust enjoyment in trifling with psychiatrists: cunningly leading them on.

Vladimir Nabokov. Lolita Penguin UK, 27 July 2012, p. 103

Psychiatry

Nurse Ratched: If Mr. McMurphy doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest written by Bo Goldman and Lawrence Hauben, adapted from the novel by Ken Kesey.

Wikiquote

Psychiatry

Benjamin R. Barber, “Forced to be Free: An Illiberal Defense of Liberty,” Superman and Common Men (New York: 1971), pp. 68-69
