Quote

You become aware of an illness by understanding yourself and understanding the meaning that that illness has in your own life, symbolically and, more importantly, quite literally.

Once illness strikes, you realize there's not a lot of time for you to do what you really need to do. And there's no time like the present.

Disease is an experience of a so-called mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body.

People that go through serious illness - you can either go one way or the other. You can either become despondent about it all. Or it kind of rejuvenates you, makes you focus on what's important.

An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision.

The number one root of all illness, as we know, is stress.

Most of the sicknesses we suffer from are from the things we eat.

Many people find themselves with illness as they become successful: higher blood pressure and diabetes.

In the beginning, when I first found out I had a disease that was incurable, emotionally I had to get used to the idea of being sick before I could think about making any other major decisions in my life.

When you get sick and it's extended, you go through all these mental phases, and everyone handles them differently.
