Famous quotes containing the words human and/or disease:

    Every man with a bellyful of the classics is an enemy to the human race.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
