More From Ivan Illich
- "Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet; in an environment equally fit for birth, growth work, healing, and dying… Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate, give birth, share the human condition and die."
- "Effective health care depends on self-care; this fact is currently heralded as if it were a discovery."
- "Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn’t organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals."
More In Death

- "They say the death of a parent puts you in time because that means there’s now no generation standing between you and ordinary death: you’re next. I don’t buy it."― Bruce Jackson
- "The “kingdom of Heaven” is a condition of the heart – not something that comes “upon the earth” or “after death.”"― Friedrich Nietzsche
