Criminal Minds · Season 1, Episode 15

Spencer Reid in “Unfinished Business”

"It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has." Hippocrates [NOTE: Although this quote is frequently attributed to Hippocrates, an exhaustive search by Quote Investigator has determined the earliest close match was spoken by Henry George Plimmer in 1899. Woods Hutchinson employed the saying repeatedly, starting in 1902, and pointed to Walter Moxon as creator of the expression, but no substantive support for this claim has been found. Therefore, the originator remains unknown.]
