De cum pui piciorul undeva,ambiÅ£ii se trezesc în tine.Eu unul aveam vocaÅ£ia s? fiu bolnav,bolnav ÅŸi nimic mai mult.

Austin required all reference to sickness be cut. Consistent with secrecy was the refusal of the Norcross sisters to let Todd see the letters in their possession. These remaining witnesses to Emily's ills in her teenage years, and to the treatment she endured in Boston in 1864 and 1865, shielded their cousin from biographical intrusion.
~ Lyndall Gordon
This blend of truth and evasion was to characterise future legend. Todd did encounter words like blades but, as mouthpiece for the family, never mentions this, any more than Jane Austen's family saw fit to mention her sarcasms. Nineteenth-century families project an image of an authoress as retiring lady whose gift shades into an uneventful life. Nothing could be said of sickness, love, adultery or the rising fire of the feud.
~ Lyndall Gordon

Commandements de Dieu, vous avez rendu malade mon âme, / Vous avez entouré de murs les seuls eaux pour me désaltérer.
~ Andre Gide
You say that you really don't want to get sick again. But wellness is still, in this area, associated not with achieving control of your problem, but with discontinuation of medication: "Well, I sure hope you get off sometime soon," they say.
~ Andrew Solomon
Sometimes, and most frequently, compassion and complaint. In youth alone, unhappy mortals live; But, ah! the mighty bliss is fugitive: Discolour'd sickness, anxious labour come, And age
~ Samuel Johnson
Then Jack turned to her. Safari? That was the best excuse you could come up with for me not being at a meeting? She winced apologetically. I'm sorry. I'm a terrible liar. What was wrong with simple sickness? A nice, normal bout of food poisoning? He was in a bad mood. I kind of got carried away, she admitted. Boy, are you lucky I watched Tarzan so much as a kid.
~ Sarah Mayberry
cough, cough, cough!
~ Sarah Mlynowski
St. Josemaria diagnosed this tendency to overwork as a sickness of the spirit. That was before the word "workaholism" was coined. St. Josemaria called the condition "professionalitis"— suggesting a corruption of something good.
~ Scott Hahn
God employs several translators some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice.

As Sicknesse is the greatest misery, so the greatest misery of sicknes is solitude; when the infectiousness of the disease deterss them who should assist from coming; even the Phisician dares scarse come... it is an Outlawry, and excommunication upon the patient....
~ John Donne
That this world's general sickness doth not lie In any humour, or one certain part; But as thou sawest it rotten at the heart, Thou seest a hectic fever hath got hold Of the whole substance, not to be controlled, And that thou hast but one way, not to admit The world's infection, to be none of it.
~ John Donne
And, O my God, who madest thyself a light in a bush, in the midst of these brambles and thorns of a sharp sickness, appear unto me so that I may see thee, and know thee to be my God, applying thyself to me, even in these sharp and thorny passages.
~ John Donne

~ Russell Howard

~ Chath Piersath
Ik rende naar de badkamer en kotste alles er boven de wasbak weer uit. Dat luchtte op. Ik spoelde mijn mond en strompelde terug naar het bed. Even later hoorde ik mijn vader roepen: 'Shit, Max, shít! Kon je het niet even opruimen?' 'Pa,' zei ik, 'ik ben ziek.' 'Het stinkt! Ik laat het wel liggen!' 'Jij laat niks liggen!' riep mijn moeder van beneden.
~ Edward van de Vendel
Generally, doctors diagnose the body diseases, and for that, one pays money; conversely, on several occasions, words diagnose a mental sickness, and for that, one pays its respect.
