Treating an identity as an illness invites real illness to make a braver stand.
Andrew Solomon
Image
I think wanting to write is a fundamental sign of disease and discomfort. I don't think people who are comfortable want to write.
Kay Redfield Jamison
Image
Simon became inarticulate in his effort to express mankind's essential illness.
William Golding
Image
Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them.
Aldous Huxley

Rescue someone unwilling to look after himself, and he will cling to you like a dangerous illness.
Mason Cooley
Image
Please believe that I do this because I am convinced that my illness cannot be helped for any length of time and I cannot bear to be a burden on anyone any longer.
Susannah McCorkle
Image
Cases of sickness made up a very small percentage which in my opinion was normal. However, propaganda pamphlets dropped from aircraft were telling the workers to feign illness, and detailed instructions were given to them on how to do it.
Albert Speer
Image
You matter because you are you, and you matter to the end of your life. We will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die.
Cicely Saunders
Image
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
Anais Nin
Image
More than illness or death, the American journalist fears standing alone against the whim of his owners or the prejudices of his audience. Deprive William Safire of the insignia of the New York Times, and he would have a hard time selling his truths to a weekly broadsheet in suburban Duluth.
Lewis H. Lapham
Image
Wouldn't it be great,as Scott Peck suggests, if all medical students had to undergo the symptoms and feeling of a spectrum of illnesses. From acute infections to terminal cancer - and Kuru, the laughing sickness. Just a month for each exposure, controlled of course, and a good heavy dose of excruciating pain. So they'll know what that feels like.
William S. Burroughs
Image
I was just sort of moving through time.
Patty Duke

I don't worry. I'm more stoical. Of course I have insecurities. I fear getting older. I fear death and illness. I'm not prone to depression, but I get depressed because everybody gets depressed. Suddenly I'm away from my family or doing a job I'm not enjoying.
David Thewlis
Image
I am not mad I would to heaven I were! For then, 'tis like I should forget myself O, if I could, what grief should I forget!
William Shakespeare
Image
Most illnesses do not, as is generally thought, come like a bolt out of the blue. The ground is prepared for years through faulty diet, intemperance, overwork, and moral conflicts, slowly eroding the subject's vitality.
Paul Tournier
Image
Larry Grobel has the illness of all writers, he can't help himself. You're talking to him and all of a sudden, you say, He's puttin' that in his cash register!
Al Pacino
Image
I think God gives medication that heals some illnesses. But I think when you deny the reality of evil, you want to use medicine to solve every problem, and it doesn't solve every problem.
Robert Jeffress
Image
...it seemed appropriate that I should develop some kind of illness. This is a good idea when you are at a loose end because everything, up to and including herpes, is better than being bored.
Jeremy Clarkson
Image
But Gulf War Syndrome is not one cause, not one illness. It is many causes, many illnesses.
Chris Shays

Grief is not very different from illness: in the impetus of its fire it does not recognise lords, it does not fear colleagues, it does not respect or spare anyone, not even itself.
Eleanor of Aquitaine
Image
... how I understand that love of living, of being in this wonderful, astounding world even if one can look at it only through theprison bars of illness and suffering! Plus je vois, the more I am thrilled by the spectacle.
Edith Wharton
Image
It is a negative sort of achievement, she thinks, to have spent a life warding something off.
Adam Haslett
Image
Over and over again in my life, I find closeness to other people and proximity to other people really painful that's part of my mental illness, social anxiety. Closeness to other people is really hard, but it's also a shame because it's all you want too. But it doesn't always work.
Adam Duritz

AIDS today is not a death sentence. It can be treated as a chronic illness, or a chronic disease.
