Gulf War Illness

Famous quotes containing the words gulf, war and/or illness:

    And into the gulf between cantankerous reality and the male ideal of shaping your world, sail the innocent children. They are right there in front of us—wild, irresponsible symbols of everything else we can’t control.
    Hugh O’Neill (20th century)

    Tanks. In any normal war they’re a beautiful sight, on your side.
    Richard Blake, and William Cameron Menzies. Col. Fielding (Millburn Stone)

    The fact that illness is associated with the poor—who are, from the perspective of the privileged, aliens in one’s midst—reinforces the association of illness with the foreign: with an exotic, often primitive place.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
