antidote quotes

• An important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility. (John Kenneth Galbraith) [antidote/democracy/goodwill/service]
• The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger. ( Seneca) [antidote]
• Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition. (Adam Smith) [science/antidote/enthusiasm/superstition]
• Novels so often provide an anodyne and not an antidote, glide one into torpid slumbers instead of rousing one with a burning brand. (Virginia Woolf) [provide/antidote]
• Writing is an antidote for loneliness. (Steven Berkoff) [antidote]
