John Green
“On my first day of training, she told me, "Death is natural. Children dying is natural. None of us actually wants to live in a natural world." Treating disease, whether through herbs or magic or drugs, is unnatural. No other animals do it, at least not with anything approaching our sophistication. Hospitals are unnatural. As are novels, and saxophones. None of us actually wants to live in a natural world.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

“But we can choose a different world. In fact, we will choose a different world. The world will be different a generation from now. The question is whether we will look back in gratitude at the virtuous cycles or in horror at the vicious ones.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

“Part of my job is to instruct you in right-thinking so you can become a good servant of the state.”
Dennis E. Taylor, We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

John Green
“And so we must remember that illness is not only a biomedical phenomenon, but also a constructed one, and how we imagine leprosy or OCD or tuberculosis matters.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

John Green
“How can I accept a world where over a million people will die this year for want of a cure that has existed for nearly a century?”
