"Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality.……" — H. L. Mencken

"Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienist who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous. ... The aim of medicine is surely not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard them from the consequences of their vices."

H. L. Mencken
