Health-Disease

Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man. (Felix Frankfurter)

There is a certain state of health that does not allow us to understand everything; and perhaps illness shuts us off from certain truths: but health shuts us off just as effectively from others. (André Gide)

What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease. (George Dennison Prentice)

How sickness enlarges the dimensions of a man's self to himself ! He is his own exclusive object. Supreme selfishness is inculcated upon him as his only duty. (Charles Lamb)
