“Disease was a perverse, a dissolute form of life. And life? Life itself? Was it perhaps only an infection, a sickening of matter? Was that which one might call the original procreation of matter only a disease, a growth produced by morbid stimulation of the immaterial? The first step toward evil, toward desire and death, was taken precisely then, when there took place that first increase in the density of the spiritual, that pathologically luxuriant morbid growth, produced by the irritant of some unknown infiltration; this, in part pleasurable, in part a motion of self-defence, was the primeval stage of matter, the transition from the insubstantial to the substance. This was the Fall. The second creation, the birth of the organic out of the inorganic, was only another fatal stage in the progress of the corporeal toward consciousness, just as disease in the organism was an intoxication, a heightening and unlicensed accentuation of its physical state; and life, life was nothing but the next step on the reckless path of the spirit dishonored; nothing but the automatic blush of matter roused to sensation and become receptive for that which awaked it.”
― Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

“I am jealous of my sleeping lover and cover his induced
unconsciousness.”
― Sarah Kane, 4.48 Psychosis

“Every phenomenon is a corrupt version of another, larger
phenomenon: time, a disease of eternity; history, a disease of
time; life, again, a disease of matter.
Then what is normal, what is healthy? Eternity? Which itself
is only an infirmity of God.”
― Emil Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

“To survive one tragedy was to learn you cannot survive them all, and this knowledge was both a freedom and a great loss.”
― Chris Womersley, Bereft

“It comes and goes. People think if you're sick you become fearless and brave, but you don't. Most of the time it's like being stalked by a psycho, like I might get shot any second. But sometimes I forget for hours.'
'What makes you forget?'
'People. Doing stuff. When I was with you in the wood, I forgot for a whole afternoon.”
― Jenny Downham, Before I Die

“Love is a chemical reaction, but it cannot be fully understood or defined by science. And though a body cannot exist without a soul, it too cannot be fully understood or defined by science.
Love is the most powerful form of energy, but science cannot decipher its elements. Yet the best cure for a sick soul is love, but even the most advanced physician cannot prescribe it as medicine.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“One of the problems with climate change, global warming and global air pollution is that it may change the frequency and intensity of electrical storm activity. Too much lightning activity may cause excessive mating, aggression, fatigue, illness and disease to occur. Too little may turn off the animal and plant breeding cycles.”
― Steven Magee, Electrical Forensics

“It’s hard not to be afraid while I’m still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn’t touched me yet.

Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness.

That’s bad enough. The Book of Shhh also tells stories of those who died because of love lost or never found, which is what terrifies me the most.

The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don’t.”
― Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“Which came first, the intestine or the tapeworm?”
― William S. Burroughs

“Writing is a lifelong disease.

Once contracted, the only prescription is to write constantly in whatever form to express your condition, in whatever construction to carry your words beyond you.”
― J.R. Tompkins

“Of course, no government official will ever tell you that the cities may be making the people in them ill.”
― Steven Magee, Health Forensics

“She is drawn to the river, and all its hideous, dead-eyed treasures: rot-bloated cats, and cold-meat corpses of unwanted infants, eels plucking at their tender fingers and toes.”
― Emmanuelle de Maupassant, The Gentlemen's Club

“Abdullah to Kim Burton: "War is like disease. Until you've had it, you don't know it. But no. That's a bad comparison. At least with disease everyone thinks it might happen to them one day. You have a pain here, swelling there, a cold that stays and stays. You start to think maybe this is something really bad. But war - countries (America) like yours they always fight wars, but always somewhere else. The disease always happens somewhere else. Tt's why you fight wars more than anyone else; because you understand war least of all. You need to understand it better.”
― Kamila Shamsie

“Not death but disease is the real enemy, disease the malign force that requires confrontation. Death is the surcease that comes when the exhausting battle has been lost.”
― Sherwin B. Nuland, How We Die: Reflections of Life's Final Chapter

“To talk of diseases is a sort of Arabian Nights entertainment.”
― William Osler

“I wonder how Japan's futuristic robot doctors will treat the worst and most widespread disease humanity already has - artificially lowered IQ. Making people stupider makes them buy more stuff �� so “How many robots can you afford?�� will be the big question of one of the following decades, unless we go back to Communism and produce everything for the sake of it, for free.”
― Will Advise, Nothing is here...

“After all, the girl actually had faith in something, which was more than most people had in these dark times. It was wrong to destroy it.”
― Chris Womersley, Bereft

“My lessons from my mother’s life are many, but one that stings the most and the one I want to imbue in my heart is to not judge people negatively by how they act, even if they look normal, or have been normal in your past, because you never know what they have to fight inside �� something they never chose to have.
The answer to Dustin walking was not willpower. He was not born to walk, and while trying made us better people, more practice wasn’t the answer �� compassion was. The answer to the feeling that I was losing my mother slowly over the years was not to try to motivate her into a new perspective to magically fix all the problems �� it was love.”
― Darcy Leech, From My Mother

“We adapt to our sorrows, I suppose, as unpleasant as they might be. One cannot weep forever. One simply runs dry of tears.”
― Chris Womersley, Bereft

“If the natural environment is changed and the electromagnetic radiation levels increase, then it may cause illness and disease in humans.”
― Steven Magee, Solar Radiation, Global Warming and Human Disease

“According to accepted newspaper clichés, we all go down fighting. The other day I even read that an 18-month-old baby had died after a long battle with cancer. That has become the mandatory phrase for all who expire, disease-ridden. They battled valiantly; they lost. When I finally depart I hope somebody will write, instead, that I died after a long battle with life.”
― Pierre Berton

“We all have a terminal disease far worse than cancer that will kill us morally and spiritually.
It’s called sin.”
― Billy Graham, Billy graham in quotes

“Hastalıkta hayal gücü her şeydir. Ona gerektiği gibi başvurulduğunda iyileştirir, ama hayal gücü insanı öldürür de. Bedenin hayal gücüyde sıkıcıdır, hatta her şeyi oldukları haliyle kavrar. Rüyalar hayal gücünün şiiri, �󲹲��ٲ���ı�� ve düzyazısıdır. Hiç durmadan konuşan bir tanışım, kulakta başlayan bir rahatsızlıktan öldü; büyük el kol hareketleri yapmayı çok seven bir avukat da felç geçirdi. Hastalıkların da modası var. Bizimkilerden daha basit toplumlarda hastalığın da her şey gibi toplumsal ve ortak bir niteliği vardır: En tipik �󲹲��ٲ���ı�� türü salgınlardır. Bizim toplumumuzda �󲹲��ٲ���ı�� kişiye özel bir sorundur; modern �󲹲��ٲ���ı��lar bulaşıcı değildir. Hastalık her insana tek başına saldırır. Ya ihmal ettiği yahut da aşırı bir şekilde geliştirdiği bir organ kişiye özel olarak seçilir. Bu artık kirlilik değil, bireysel bir yargıdır. Başkasına geçirilemeyeceği için ona daha büyük bir uysallıkla katlanılır.”
― Susan Sontag, The Benefactor

“I worked on Mauna Kea for over five years and saw my health severely degrade during that time. The
two long term summit workers that I knew well died of disease conditions, another worker went on to
commit suicide, and others were argumentative.”
― Steven Magee, Curing Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity

“It was easy to imagine the beginning of time here, but also, perhaps, its end.”
― Chris Womersley, Bereft

“One's child is always one's child no matter what age they might be. You worry when your child makes a noise, when he doesn't. It's a terrible kind of love. Terrible.”
― Chris Womersley, Bereft

“Desire is the straw that stirs the drink.”
― Ronald Rolheiser

“To understand how to be healthy, a person must first comprehend sickness, disease and death.”
― Steven Magee

“Врач не бог. Он может заблуждаться. Но ошибаться он не имеет права. Врач что сапер, лишь с той разницей, что когда ошибается сапер - он сам погибает, а когда ошибается врач - гибнет больной.”
