I came to grotesque language in the patriarchal culture under the dictatorship. The body that was broken into pieces is a sick body. I put the disease of this world and my sick body together.
Amor deliria nervosa isn't a disease of love. It's a disease of selfishness.
Hunger is the most effective disease.
It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.
There is a chance that we could have at least as many dying from communicable diseases as we had dying from the tsunami.
The struggle of what one likes and what one dislikes is the disease of the mind.
Sanity, it would seem, was a dangerously contagious disease.
Watching these channels all day is incredibly depressing. I live in a constant state of depression. I think of us as turd miners. I put on my helmet, I go and mine turds, hopefully I don't get turd lung disease.
Anorexia was there for me before I got into modeling, but because of the arena and the demands, the disease really got out of control for me. It's like being an alcoholic and going and being a bartender.
Writers and filmakers, that is, people who describe the world, suffer from an occupational disease. They never experience moments in life quite spontaneously. You always look at yourself from the outside. Even as a child I always observed myself and the world. I believe that everyone who chooses this path in any way, who chooses to be a describer of life, suffers from this condition. It's like a mental obsession. It can be a great pity too. It robs you of a certain joy in spontaneity.
Prejudice is a disease. So is fashion. But I will not wear prejudice.
You act like getting pregnant is a disease you can catch from public toilets.
When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it can't be cured.
AIDS is no longer a death sentence for those who can get the medicines. Now it's up to the politicians to create the "comprehensive strategies" to better treat the disease.
Love: a grave mental disease.
Whether I or anyone else accepted the concept of alcoholism as a disease didn't matter; what mattered was that when treated as a disease, those who suffered from it were most likely to recover.
Love is an incurable disease. In love, there is permanent suffering. Those who love and those who are happy are not the same.
A decadent civilization compromises with its disease, cherishes the virus infecting it, loses its self-respect.
Suffering is always hard to quantify - especially when the pain is caused by as cruel a disease as Alzheimer's. Most illnesses attack the body; Alzheimer's destroys the mind - and in the process, annihilates the very self.
After a lifetime of war-watching, I see war as an endemic human disease, and governments are the carriers.
