There are psychological repercussions to illness and we need a little more help to get through the effects not only on the afflicted but on the family. And I think there's even a place for humor in that.

Most people if you live in a big city you see some form of schizophrenia every day and it's always in the form of someone homeless. 'Look at that guy - he's crazy. He looks dangerous.' Well he's on the streets because of mental illness. He probably had a job and a home.

We can all agree that no American should lose their life savings or their home because of illness or injury and that the rising cost of health care severely burdens individuals families and businesses.

The time to read is any time: no apparatus no appointment of time and place is necessary. It is the only art which can be practiced at any hour of the day or night whenever the time and inclination comes that is your time for reading in joy or sorrow health or illness.

In this most powerful nation in the world lack of access to health care should not force local and state governments companies and workers into bankruptcy while causing unnecessary illness and hospitalization.

Fear is a question: What are you afraid of and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness because illness contains information your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore them.

Citizens must pressure the American Hospital Association the American Public Health Association the Centers for Disease Control and other relevant governmental agencies to make greening our hospitals and medical centers a top priority so that they themselves don't create even more illness.

You cannot drive a system that's going to be aiming at preventing illness if everyone is not in it. The whole gaming of health insurance and health care in America is based on that fundamental principle: insure people who aren't sick and you don't have to pay more money on them.

Thanks to evolution our bodies have powerful ways to ward off illness and infection and enable us to live long and healthy lives. Why then do health costs continue to climb at unsustainable and frightening rates?

I've been to enough other countries in the world to know what happens when you have socialized single-payer health care. It works. People don't get sick as much. They don't lose their life savings with a catastrophic illness like cancer or AIDS.

A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.

The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God.

Uncontrolled the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.

Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.

Because death and illness are the most horrible things in life of course that's where the most absurdly funny things are going to happen.

I remember once I read a book on mental illness and there was a nurse that had gotten sick. Do you know what she died from? From worrying about the mental patients not being able to get their food. She became a mental patient.

One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor but it's also about stillness and silence.
