Sickness and Freedom
Sickness and Freedom
Joseph Weissman
“To become sick in the manner of these free spirits, to remain sick for a long
time and then, slowly, slowly, to become healthy, by which I mean
‘healthier’, is a fundamental cure for all pessimism… There is wisdom,
practical wisdom, in for a long time prescribing even health for oneself only
in small doses.”
ibid (9)
