  • The so-called Christian nations are the most enlightened and progressive ... but in spite of their religion, not because of it. The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve. And every step in astronomy and geology ever taken has been opposed by bigotry and superstition. The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born.

    Drinking   Fire   Water  
    "Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown", www.cnn.com. July 5, 2014.

  • Why does a man who is truly in love insist that this relationship must continue and be "lifelong"? Because life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic. Who would want to wake up halfway through an operation?

    Love   Pain   Men  
    Cesare Pavese, Alma Elizabeth Murch (1961). “This Business of Living”, p.74, Transaction Publishers
  • Why must all of the operations in life be performed without an anesthetic?

  • I think fear neutralizes alcohol, weakens its anesthetic power. It's good for small fears; your boss, your wife, your bills, your dentist; all right then to take a drink. But for big ones it doesn't do any good. Like water on blazing gasoline, it will only quicken and compound it. It takes sand, in the literal and the slang sense, to smother the bonfire that is fear. And if you're out of sand, then you must burn up.

    Fear   Thinking   Water  
  • Germans grew reluctant to stay in communal ski lodges, fearing they might talk in their sleep. They postponed surgeries because of the lip-loosening effects of anesthetic. Dreams reflected the ambient anxiety. One German dreamed that an SA man came to his home and opened the door to his oven, which then repeated every negative remark the household had made against the government.

    Dream   Fear   Sleep  
  • There can be no reasonable right to live on sidewalks. Society needs order, and hence has a right to a minimally civilized ambience in public spaces. Regarding the homeless, this is not merely for aesthetic reasons because the anesthetic is not merely unappealing. It presents a spectacle of disorder and decay that becomes a contagion.

    Order   Space   Needs  
  • Each wrong act brings with it its own anesthetic, dulling the conscience and blinding it against further light, and sometimes for years.

    Light   Years   Sometimes  
    Rose Macaulay (Dame.), John Hamilton Cowper Johnson (1961). “Letters to a friend, 1950-1952”
  • Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes.

    Strong   Causes   Drink  
  • Welfare programs as instruments of manipulation ultimately serve the end of conquest. They act as an anesthetic, distracting the oppressed from the true causes of their problems and from the concrete solutions of these problems.

    Paulo Freire (2014). “Pedagogy of the Oppressed: 30th Anniversary Edition”, p.109, Bloomsbury Publishing USA
  • The interesting thing is why we're so desperate for this anesthetic against loneliness.

  • If devils exist, their first aim is to give you an anesthetic -- to put you off your guard. Only if that fails, do you become aware of them.

    Giving   Devil   Firsts  
    C. S. Lewis (2014). “God in the Dock”, p.46, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
  • Puke and starve and cut and drink because you don't want to feel any of this. Puke and starve and cut and drink because you need an anesthetic and it works. For awhile. But then the anesthetic turns into poison and by then it's to late because you are maintaining it now,straight into your soul. It is rotting you and you can't stop.

    Cutting   Soul   Poison  
    Laurie Halse Anderson (2009). “Wintergirls”, p.124, Penguin
  • There is no greater anesthetic than sport.

  • With a novelist, like a surgeon, you have to get a feeling that you've fallen into good hands - someone from whom you can accept the anesthetic with confidence.

  • Everyone is isolated from everyone else. The concept of society is like a cushion to protect us from the knowledge of that isolation. A fiction that serves as an anesthetic.

    Paul Bowles, Gena Dagel Caponi (1993). “Conversations with Paul Bowles”, Univ Pr of Mississippi
  • Christianity persecuted, tortured, and burned. Like a hound it tracked the very scent of heresy. It kindled wars, and nursed furious hatreds and ambitions. It sanctified, quite like Mohammedism, extermination and tyranny. All this would have been impossible if, like Buddhism, it had looked only for peace and the liberation of souls. It looked beyond; it dreamt of infinite blisses and crowns it should be crowned with before an electrified universe and an applauding God... Buddhism had tried to quiet a sick world with anesthetics; Christianity sought to purge it with fire.

    War   Ambition   Buddhism  
  • It is a curious and painful fact that almost all the completely futile treatments that have been believed in during the long history of medical folly have been such as caused acute suffering to the patient. When anesthetics were discovered, pious people considered them an attempt to evade the will of God. It was pointed out, however, that when God extracted Adam's rib He put him into a deep sleep. This proved that anesthetics are all right for men; women, however, ought to suffer, because of the curse of Eve.

    Pain   Sleep   Science  
    Bertrand Russell (1972). “Atheism: collected essays, 1943-1949”, Arno Pr
  • I want my whole life lined with a topical anesthetic.

    Want   Whole Life   Whole  
    Chuck Palahniuk (1999). “Survivor: A Novel”, Anchor
  • Printed prose is historically a most peculiar, almost an aberrant way of telling stories, and by far the most inherently anesthetic: It is the only medium of art I can think of which appeals directly to none of our five senses. The oral and folk tradition in narrative made use of verse or live-voice dynamics, embellished by gesture and expression--a kind of rudimentary theater--as do the best raconteurs of all times. Commonly there was musical accompaniment as well: a kind of one-man theater-of-mixed-means.

    John Barth (1984). “The Friday book: essays and other nonfiction”, Putnam Pub Group
