“I would always be like this, always have this within me. There was no beating it. I would never slay the dragon, because the dragon was also me. My self and the disease were knotted together for life.”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“I am reminded of an image...that living with a terminal disease is like walking on a tightrope over an insanely scary abyss. But that living without disease is also like walking on a tightrope over an insanely scary abyss, only with some fog or cloud cover obscuring the depths a bit more -- sometimes the wind blowing it off a little, sometimes a nice dense cover.”

“In the old days prime ministers were not chosen by the vote of the people, because how can you choose by the vote of the people? How can people choose their leaders? They would like to, but they are not capable. Democracy is just a dream, it has not happened anywhere â€� it cannot happen. And wherever it happens it creates trouble; the medicine proves more dangerous than the disease itself.”
― Osho, When the Shoe Fits: Stories of the Taoist Mystic Chuang Tzu

“Disease has no intent. It doesn't want anything. It has no malevolent desire to kill. If it could talk it would not say "I want to make you ill. I want to bring you to the brink of death. I want to kill." It would say only "I make people ill. I bring them to the brink of death. I can kill."

The disease is like machine that does what it does, but has no cognizance of self. When a machine stops working, it does not care, and it doesn't celebrate when it starts working again.

To those that have it, and to their loved ones, the disease seems heinous, deliberate,and personal. And of course I know why they feel this way... when you are in a fight for your life, then surely there is an adversary. There is something opposed to you. Something that desires to defeat you. You want to believe the enemy is the disease. You don't want to believe, even for a minute, that the enemy is your own body. This weak tent of flesh, that cannot stand up against a speck of contagion. This fragile weave of muscle, bone, and soul, that also cannot resist the power of flame, nor the pull of the ground below it.”
― Susan Meissner, A Fall of Marigolds

“Dying from an aggressive fatal brain tumor is like dying from Alzheimer's disease accelerated one hundred times.”

“Watching a parent die is a terrible task. My father, faced with something he could not talk down or browbeat into submission, spent his days with the bottle, as if he determined to drink himself to death, as if his alcohol could hold back the disease that swept through his brain.”
― Yudhanjaya Wijeratne, Numbercaste

“Lying there in silence, Elim thought about how quickly a person’s fate could change, how precious life and health are. He had walked into this very room two days ago as a practicing physician, a man in control, with the power to heal, looking down on the sick American on the same bed where he himself now lay. He had never known just how different the world looked from the other side.
He vowed that if he became well, he would cherish every day. And although he had never wished ill health on another person, there and then he wondered if every physician might benefit from being sick—really sick—just once. He wondered if it would make them all care a little more, or work a little harder, to have been on the other side for a while—to have placed their life and livelihood in the hands of a stranger, even if for only a short period. He had considered himself a very conscientious physician before this, but he imagined that if he lived, he would be even more dedicated to his patients.
Staring at the ceiling, he was reminded of an old Indian proverb: A healthy person has a hundred wishes, but a sick person has only one.”
― A.G. Riddle, Pandemic

“But you will not spare a drop of pity because I am rich? We have death in our gilded courts, too. We have disease and cruelty, and not a breath of air or freedom. You cannot say our lives are easy, any more than I can say yours is. They are lives, and so they are HORRID!”
― Stefan Bachmann, A Drop of Night

“Ukiwaza kwa kufuata kanuni ya nguvu ya uvutano (ambayo ni kuwaza na kuamini kama kile unachokiwaza tayari umeshakipata bila hata kujua umekipataje) utaishi kama ulivyowaza. Ukiwaza kuwa jambazi utakuwa jambazi hakika, ukiwaza kupona ugonjwa unaokusumbua utapona hakika, na ukiwaza kuwa tajiri utakuwa tajiri hakika. Mafanikio hayo yanaweza kuchukua mwezi mmoja kutimia au yanaweza kuchukua miaka kumi. Unachotakiwa kufanya ni kuwaza na kuamini.”
― Enock Maregesi
