Quote

Civilization is so hard on the body that some have called it a disease, despite the arts that keep puny bodies alive to a greater average age, and our greater protection from contagious and germ diseases.

We are a plague on the Earth.

We decided that how we react to and treat those fellow mortals, wild and domestic, tells us more about ourselves than, perhaps, some of us want to know.

I know people are fickle.

We will talk about cooperation to destroy the disease as soon as we can.

Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.

I feel coming on a strange disease - humility.

Poetry and consumption are the most flattering of diseases.

Disease is the retribution of outraged Nature.

When you're used to being in the public eye, if you've got a disease, you've got to own up to it. It's about being about it, not running from it.
