Browse Quotations about Disease

A decadent civilization compromises with its disease, cherishes the virus infecting it, loses its self-respect.
All diseases run into one. Old age.
Any important disease whose causality is murky, and for which treatment is ineffectual, tends to be awash in significance.
Disease an never be conquered, can never be quelled by emotion's willful screaming or faith's symbolic prayer. It can only be conquered by the energy of humanity and the cunning in the mind of man. In the patience of a Curie, in the enlightenment of a Faraday, a Rutherford, a Pasteur, a Nightingale, and all other apostles of light and cleanliness, rather than of a woebegone godliness, we shall find final deliverance from plague, pestilence, and famine.
Disease generally begins that equality which death completes.
Disease is a vital expression of the human organism.
Disease is an experience of a so-called mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body.
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Diseases are the tax on pleasures.
Even diseases have lost their prestige, there aren't so many of them left. Think it over... no more syphilis, no more clap, no more typhoid... antibiotics have taken half the tragedy out of medicine.
Everyone detected with AIDS should be tattooed in the upper forearm, to protect common needle users, and on the buttock, to prevent the victimization of other homosexuals.
He who considers disease results to be the disease itself, and expects to do away with these as diseases, is insane. It is an insanity in medicine, an insanity that has grown out of the milder forms of mental disorder in science, crazy whims.
He who cures a disease may be the skillfullest, but he that prevents it is the safest physician.
I think the biggest disease this world suffers fromis people feeling unloved.
Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.
