Beena Kamlani
“Life was being a neutral shade of carpet, which neither delighted the senses nor stimulated passion. And if it felt like digging a little mound in the earth and lying in it for a short while, surely he could satisfy it? Anyone could do it. Lie low. Be a rug.”
Beena Kamlani, The English Problem

John  Green
“In denying HIV treatment to the poor, the reasons cited—patients couldn’t be trusted to take their medication on time, better to focus on prevention and control—were the same as we’ve seen with TB. In 2001, the head of USAID—the U.S. government’s arm devoted to international aid —had this to say about making antiretroviral treatment accessible to the poor: “If we had [HIV medicines for Africa] today, we could not distribute them. We could not administer the program because we do not have the doctors, we do not have the roads…[Africans] do not know what watches and clocks are. They do not use western means for telling time. They use the sun. These drugs have to be administered during a certain sequence of time during the day and when you say take it at 10:00, people will say, ‘What do you mean by 10:00?’ ” We see here that the racist dehumanization of African people is not only part of nineteenth and twentieth century history. Racism continues to distort our policies and practices. And just as with previous examples of racism, it proved to be totally false. In point of fact, a 2007 study found that Africans were more likely to adhere to HIV/AIDS treatment regimens than North Americans.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

“A love that is based on the goodness of others is a mercenary affair; whereas true love is self-effacing and demands no consideration.”
Beena Kamlani, Gandhi

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. In a place where the formal healthcare system is not particularly effective at treating an illness, it is easy to imagine how more trusted spaces and people—like churches and faith healers—can be a better bet than doctors and hospitals.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

John  Green
“Death is natural. Children dying is natural. None of us actually wants to live in a natural world.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
