To demonstrate experimentally that a microscopic organism actually is the cause of a disease and the agent of contagion, I know no other way, in the present state of Science, than to subject the microbe (the new and happy term introduced by M. Sédillot) to the method of cultivation out of the body.
Louis Pasteur
Virulence appears in a new light which cannot but be alarming to humanity; unless nature, in her evolution down the ages (an evolution which, as we now know, has been going on for millions, nay, hundreds of millions of years), has finally exhausted all the possibilities of producing virulent or contagious diseases - which does not seem very likely.
It is not the germs we need worry about. It is our inner terrain.
All my humor is based upon destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I’d be standing on the breadline right in back of J. Edgar Hoover.
Lenny Bruce
Prejudice is a disease. And when they come for you, or refuse your worth, I will be ready for their stones. I belong to you.
Lady Gaga
I'm a real person, and I'm angry. I'm trying to use this celebrity thing to get people some help. AIDS, poverty, racism - I want to be one of the hands that helps stop all that. I'll put it on my shoulders. I'll charge it to my account.
Jamie Foxx
"On his misfit globe he has outlasted the mammoth and the pterodactyl, but he has never got the upper hand of bacteria and the insects."
James Thurber
"I tell you, the old-fashioned doctor who treated all diseases has completely disappeared, now there are only specialists, and they advertise all the time in the newspapers. If your nose hurts, they send you to Paris: there's a European specialist there, he treats noses. You go to Paris, he examines your nose: I can treat only your right nostril, he says, I don't treat left nostrils, it's not my specialty, but after me, go to Vienna, there's a separate specialist there who will finish treating your left nostril."
Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Illness is the great equalizer. It doesn't matter who you are, rich or poor, young or old, fat or thin, sick is sick."
Fran Drescher
"Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses, not lifestyle choices."
Demi Lovato
"And when Hugh would grow progressively Gandhi on me, I'd remind him that these were pests---disease carriers who feasted upon the dead and then came indoors to dance upon our silverware."
David Sedaris
"A love like that was a serious illness, an illness from which you never entirely recover."
Charles Bukowski
"Addiction is a hugely complex and destructive disease, and its impact can be simply devastating. All too often, lives and families can be shattered by it."
Kate Middleton
"Convenience is not an acceptable foundational value for society. It’s a disease."
Cameron Diaz
When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it cannot be cured.
Anton Chekhov
It is like a disease to think that an invincible status has been achieved after being satisfied with the past successful operations.
Isoroku Yamamoto
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Mother Teresa
Sickness is poor-spirited, and cannot serve anyone; it must husband its resources to live. But health or fullness answers its own ends, and has to spare, runs over, and inundates the neighborhoods and creeks of other men’s necessities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think that that's the wisest thing - to prevent illness before we try to cure something.
Maya Angelou
“More than a third of all the men, women, and children on this march perished from cold, starvation, and disease. Thanks to President Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act, Cherokee land was left to white farmers who used it to grow cotton with slave labor and to mine gold.”
Gloria Steinem
“Needing approval is a female cultural disease, and often a sign of doing the wrong thing.”
I am living proof that if you catch prostate cancer early, it can be reduced to a temporary inconvenience, and you can go back to a normal life.
Norman Schwarzkopf
