Quotes From "Illness As Metaphor" By Susan Sontag

1
Depression is melancholy minus its charms. Susan Sontag
2
Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place. Susan Sontag
