Sickness Quotes

“It's as if - you know how when you're ill for a long time, you forget how it feels to be healthy? You get used to your head ringing, your ears being blocked, or your nose being stuffed - and you don't even notice you're not right anymore. Until you are.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Burning God

“As Sicknesse is the greatest misery, so the greatest misery of sicknes is solitude; when the infectiousness of the disease deterss them who should assist from coming; even the Phisician dares scarse come... it is an Outlawry, and excommunication upon the patient....”
― John Donne, Devotions upon Emergent Occasions

“A sick man's dreams are often extraordinarily distinct and vivid and extremely life-like. A scene may be composed of the most unnatural and incongruous elements, but the setting and presentation are so plausible, the details so subtle, so unexpected, so artistically in harmony with the whole picture, that the dreamer could not invent them for himself in his waking state, even if he were an artist like Pushkin or Turgenev. Such morbid dreams always make a strong impression on the dreamer's already disturbed and excited nerves, and are remembered for a long time.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

“What angels are to the sad, nurses are to the sick.”

“In many cases, under the guise of righteousness or entitlement or supposed care for another’s well-being, people will seek their own perceived victory. It may be driven by the desire for money, power-seeking, or jealousy. Silent but poisonous jealousy compares itself to another, comes out worse, and then seeks to undermine the other in order to make itself feel better about its own mistakes and shortcomings. Of course, in most people, all this is entirely unconscious and rarely acknowledged. They are ugly qualities and few will face and seek to eliminate them. What seems sweet to the ego is poison to the fulfilment of one’s soul and to true happiness. If people knew this, they would not be so tempted to betray that which is truly good for short-term gains which have the smell of sickness and duplicity.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

“Cậu bé nhìn chòng chọc vào người đàn ông. Anh ta thản nhiên nói, để lộ nụ cười trông như một vết rách trên mặt. Từ trên cao, anh ta nhìn xuống cậu bé.
“Vậy, nếu tôi đòi trả giá cao hơn, cậu tính sao?”
“Tôi sẽ đồng ý và khi cô gái được chữa khỏi, tôi sẽ quỵt nợ.”
“Này này, cậu định biến cả thị trấn thành kẻ thù đấy hả?”
Người đàn ông cười mỉa. Nhưng cậu bé đáp lại tiếng cười nhỏ nhẹ đó bằng ánh mắt như dằn mặt.
“Nếu cần tôi sẽ làm thế.”
“Hả?”
Người đàn ông nở một nụ cười. Không phải kiểu cười nhạo như ban nãy, mà là một nụ cười khẽ thích thú.
“Tôi không phải siêu nhân, nhưng vì cô gái này tôi nghĩ mình có thể trở thành một tên tội phạm hung ác đấy.”
“Ra là vậy. Tôi hiểu rồi.”

“The real or fancied indifference of some man or woman I love,
The sickness of one of my folks or of myself, or ill-doing or loss
or lack of money, or depressions or exaltations,
Battles, the horrors of fratricidal war, the fever of doubtful news,
the fitful events;
These come to me days and nights and go from me again,
But they are not the Me myself.”
― Walt Whitman

“I discussed in detail what to expect over the next couple of days: what the surgery entailed; how we'd shave only a small strip of her hair to keep it cosmetically appealing; how her arm would likely get a little weaker afterward but then stronger again; that if all went well, she'd be out of the hospital in three days; that this was just the first step in a marathon; that getting rest was important; and that I didn't expect them to retain anything I had just said and we'd go over everything again.”
― Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

“Mother Teresa with almost pragmatic efficiency had brought together two perceived needs: the need for a kind of power house of prayer o the part of her Missionaries of Charity; and the need of the sick and suffering to find a meaning to their existence. Over and above this, however, many of the Sick and Suffering links became living witnesses to Mother Teresa's conviction that suffering could draw people closer to God. The letters of the Sick and Suffering bore such eloquent witness to her belief that 'suffering begets life in the soul' that in 1983 Mother Teresa would take the unusual step of actually suggesting that they should be published. The reason she gave was less uncharacteristic: 'It will help many people to love Jesus more.;”
