Illness Quotes

Ill health is an important factor that forces the poor to remain poor. If they make a little bit of money, one episode of illness can wipe them out Picture Quote #1

My husband claims I have an unhealthy obsession with secondhand bookshops. That I spend too much time daydreaming altogether. But either you intrinsically understand the attraction of searching for hidden treasure amongst rows of dusty shelves or you don’t; it’s a passion, bordering on a spiritual illness, which cannot be explained to the unaffected Picture Quote #1

For every human illness, somewhere in the world there exists a plant which is the cure Picture Quote #1

The provision of health care facilities must be accepted as a social responsibility. It is not that an individual who has the misfortune to be inflicted with some particular disease is solely responsible for searching the facilities to cure his illness. This is a social responsibility which is accepted by governments all over the world. This is part and parcel of the organization of individuals into societies. It is a measure of the degree of civilization Picture Quote #1

Once and for all, people must understand that addiction is a disease. It’s critical if we’re going to effectively prevent and treat addiction. Accepting that addiction is an illness will transform our approach to public policy, research, insurance, and criminality; it will change how we feel about addicts, and how they feel about themselves. There’s another essential reason why we must understand that addiction is an illness and not just bad behavior: We punish bad behavior. We treat illness Picture Quote #1

Illness is the result of improper removal of toxins from the body. Oxygen is the vital factor which assists the body in removing toxins Picture Quote #1

The guilt I felt for having a mental illness was horrible. I prayed for a broken bone that would heal in six weeks. But that never happened. I was cursed with an illness that nobody could see and nobody knew much about Picture Quote #1

Medicine may be defined as the art or the science of keeping a patient quiet with frivolous reasons for his illness and amusing him with remedies good or bad until nature kills him or cures him Picture Quote #1

He knew it was possible for shame to be nursed and doctored like an illness, if you wanted to keep it separate from the rest of your life, but that didn’t mean there’d be any way to keep from knowing it was there Picture Quote #1

We have to get the word out that mental illnesses can be diagnosed and treated, and almost everyone suffering from mental illness can live meaningful lives in their communities Picture Quote #1

Have you ever observed somebody go through a religious conversion? The person seems perfectly reasonable to you and has no particular concern for religion. Then a parent, friend or child dies or he gets a serious illness or is involved in a car accident. In just a matter of weeks, he seeks out and finds the answers to all of life’s questions and starts studying and spouting all sorts of doctrine. During such a window of vulnerability, religion can commandeer a person’s brain Picture Quote #1

We know that mental illness is not something that happens to other people. It touches us all. Why then is mental illness met with so much misunderstanding and fear? Picture Quote #1

Acceptance is not a talent you either have or don’t have. It’s a learned response. My meditation teacher made a great point about the difference between a reaction and a response: You may not have control over your initial reaction to something, but you can decide what your response will be. You don’t have to be at the mercy of your emotions, and acceptance can be your first step toward empowerment... For me, acceptance has been the cornerstone to my having an emotionally healthy response to my illness Picture Quote #1

The hospital room was as cold as dead skin, the hallway crowded with lost souls and reeking of illness Picture Quote #1

Words can make the illness a subject I can master, and not one that one simply emotes over Picture Quote #1

The theatre is my drug. And my illness is so far advanced that my physic must be of the highest quality Picture Quote #1

I will say, in open adoption, all these choices you make about race, about the amount of mental illness you can deal with, about special needs and physical maladies, you have to lay all this out there before you know anybody’s story Picture Quote #1

I felt held hostage by her illness and by the backward mental health system that once again was incapable of helping our family in crisis Picture Quote #1

Embedded in this outlook is an idea of the body as a machine, so that illness is seen as a breakdown of the machine, healing involves repairing the broken parts, and a doctor is a kind of mechanic with medications as his or her tools Picture Quote #1

... 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 Picture Quote #1

I know of people who don’t believe it, but depression is an illness, but unlike, say, a broken leg, you don’t know when it’ll get better Picture Quote #1

I began wondering, can one really write a biography of an illness? But I found myself thinking of cancer as this character that has lived for 4,000 years, and I wanted to know what was its birth, what is its mind, its personality, its psyche? Picture Quote #1

I know that if I could really understand mental illness, then it would be appropriate to make a big career shift. I would become a therapist and a leader in terms of mental illness. But I’m not in the position Picture Quote #1

Is it not the worst pain to know there is a cure for your child’s illness and then not be able to obtain it? Oh it must be the one of the worst types of pain in the world Picture Quote #1

A naturopath once told me you should never take antibiotics except if you have pneumonia, a kidney infection or some other serious illness. That’s my philosophy, too Picture Quote #1

If I learnt anything at all about terminal illness in my research, it’s that the experience is different for everyone. I do believe that life becomes concentrated when it’s boundaried and that death is the biggest boundary of all Picture Quote #1

Take charge of hidden, sneaky sources of chronic inflammation that can trigger illness and disease by wearing comfortable shoes daily, getting an annual flu vaccine, and asking your doctor why you’re not on a statin and baby aspirin if you’re over the age of forty Picture Quote #1

My good fortune is not that I’ve recovered from mental illness. I have not, nor will I ever. My good fortune lies in having found my life Picture Quote #1

Over recent years, urbanisation, globalisation and the destruction of local cultures has led to a rise in the prevalence of mental illness in the developing world Picture Quote #1

Early diagnosis is so important because the earlier a mental illness can be detected, diagnosed and treatment can begin, the better off that person can be for the rest of his or her life Picture Quote #1
