John  Green
“Framing illness as even involving morality seems to me a mistake, because of course cancer does not give a shit whether you are a good person. Biology has no moral compass. It does not punish the evil and reward the good. It doesn’t even know about evil and good.

Stigma is a way of saying, “You deserved to have this happen,” but implied within the stigma is also, “And I don’t deserve it, so I don’t need to worry about it happening to me.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

John  Green
“We are powerful enough to light the world at night, to artificially refrigerate food, to leave Earth’s atmosphere and orbit it from outer space. But we cannot save those we love from suffering. This is the story of human history as I understand it—the story of an organism that can do so much, but cannot do what it most wants.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

John  Green
“And so we have entered a strange era of human history: A preventable, curable infectious disease remains our deadliest. That's the world we are currently choosing.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

John  Green
“TB in the twenty-first century is not really caused by a bacteria that we know how to kill. TB in the twenty-first century is really caused by those social determinants of health, which at their core are about human-built systems for extracting and allocating resources. The real cause of contemporary tuberculosis, is for lack of a better term, us.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

John  Green
“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
