More From Ivan Illich
- "Effective health care depends on self-care; this fact is currently heralded as if it were a discovery."
- "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."
- "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
- "Pale death, with impartial step, knocks at the hut of the poor and the towers of kings."― Horace
- "One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation."― Oscar Wilde
- "When I was on a major label I felt obliged to say yes to every interview, tour and whatever else. The label is always telling you, ‘This ain’t going to last,’ so I worked myself half to death. I learnt from that and I like to pace myself now."― Adam Ant
