Who wrote this piece ? (and play fair so don't google or hold your keys)

The sick are the great danger of man, not the evil, not the 'beasts of prey.' They who are from the outset botched, oppressed, broken those are they, the weakest are they, who most undermine the life beneath the feet of man, who instill the most dangerous venom and skepticism into our trust in life, in man, in ourselves…Here teem the worms of revenge and vindictiveness; here the air reeks of things secret and unmentionable; here is ever spun the net of the most malignant conspiracy – the conspiracy of the sufferers against the sound and the victorious; here is the sight of the victorious hated.

How about this? (Paraphrased to foil Googlers):

Dude 1: You think you are smart, don't you? But just once, I want you to scream in agony...
Dude 2: Put on some rap music.

Allow me to paraphrase Will Rogers: I've never watched a Doctor I didn't like.

And Patrick Troughton had them first, but as I recall he called them "Gobstoppers".
