And nature oft permits what is by law forbid.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

“Tobacco and alcohol, delicious fathers of abiding friendships and fertile reveries.”

“Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick.

—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
