Sickness

Famous quotes containing the word sickness:

    Tempered, gradual animation, the methodical restrain of sensations and energies, the equilibrium of sickness and health in each creature—this is nature’s essence, its immutable law, this is what it’s based on and what it adheres to.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    To her, my lord,
    Was I betrothed ere I saw Hermia;
    But like a sickness did I loathe this food.
    But, as in health come to my natural taste,
    Now I do wish it, love it, long for it,
    And will for evermore be true to it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It seems to me that physical sickness softens, just as moral sickness hardens, the heart.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
