Infectious Quotations
The tourist transports his own values and demands to his destinations and implants them like an infectious disease, decimating whatever values existed before. Arthur Erickson Paganism is infectious, more infectious than diphtheria or piety. E. M. Forster Infectious diseases introduced with Europeans, like smallpox and measles, spread from one Indian tribe to another, far in advance of Europeans themselves, and killed an estimated 95% of the New World's Indian population. Jared Diamond Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation. Alice Miller In today's world, it is shortsighted to think that infectious diseases cannot cross borders. By allowing developing countries access to generic drugs, we not only help improve health in those nations, we also help ourselves control these debilitating and often deadly diseases. Ron Wyden |
