Quotes with disease

  • Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation.
  • And almost everyone when age, disease, or sorrows strike him, inclines to think there is a God, or something very like him.
  • Science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest.
