Typhoid Quotes

• Incluso las enfermedades han perdido su prestigio, ya no quedan tantas. Piénsalo bien... ya no hay sífilis, ni gonorrea, ni tifus... los antibióticos le han quitado la mitad de la tragedia a la medicina.

• En tiempos de guerra, los soldados, por muy sensatos que sean, se preocupan mucho más en algunas ocasiones por calmar la sed que por el peligro de la fiebre entérica. Más conocida como fiebre tifoidea, esta enfermedad suele propagarse al beber agua contaminada.

• Gilbert darling, don't let's ever be afraid of things. It's such dreadful slavery. Let's be daring and adventurous and expectant. Let's dance to meet life and all it can bring to us, even if it brings scads of trouble and typhoid and twins!" (Anne to Gilbert)

• All over East Africa-indeed, all over Africa-it is normal for people to walk a kilometer or two or six for water. In more arid areas, people walk even greater distances, and sometimes all they find at the end is a pond slimy with overuse. More than 90 percent of Africans still dig for their water, and waterborne diseases such as typhoid, dysentery, bilharzia, and cholera are common. The bodies of many Africans are a stew of parasites. In some areas the wells are so far below the earth's surface that chains of people are required to pass up the water.

• "All right then," said the savage defiantly, I'm claiming the right to be unhappy."
  "Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat, the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind."
  There was a long silence.
  "I claim them all," said the Savage at last.

• These are the three main diseases of this country, sir: typhoid, cholera, and election fever. This last one is the worst; it makes people talk and talk about things that they have no say in ... Would they do it this time? Would they beat the Great Socialist and win the elections? Had they raised enough money of their own, and bribed enough policemen, and bought enough fingerprints of their own, to win? Like eunuchs discussing the Kama Sutra, the voters discuss the elections in Laxmangarh.

• I collect church collapses, recreationally. Did you see the recent one in Sicily? Marvelous! The facade fell on sixty-five grandmothers at a special mass. Was that evil? If so, who did it? If he's up there, he just loves it, Officer Starling. Typhoid and swans - it all comes from the same place.

• Nos dicen que los coches son un derroche. ¿Desperdiciar qué? El petróleo ha servido de mucho en el subsuelo durante millones de años. Nos dicen que hay que sustituir el coche por el transporte público. Pero es difícil llegar a la ventanilla de McDonald's desde un tren a toda velocidad. Y nos dicen que los coches contaminan. Hace cien años, las calles de las ciudades estaban llenas de excrementos de caballo hasta los tobillos. ¿Qué tipo de contaminación quieres? ¿Preferirías morir de cáncer a los ochenta o de fiebre tifoidea a los nueve?

• The peril of this century is spiritual apathy. As the body requires sunlight, good food, proper exercise and rest, so the spirit of man requires the sunlight of the Holy Spirit; proper exercise of the spiritual functions; the avoiding of evils that affect spiritual health, that are more ravaging in their effects than typhoid fever, pneumonia, or other diseases that attack the body.
