Mental Illness

Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or illness:

    What a man calls his “conscience” is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.
    Helen Rowland (1875–1950)

    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)
