Theodor Adorno quotes on health

12. 'And how comfortless is the thought that the sickness of the normal does not necessarily imply as its opposite the health of the sick, but that the latter usually only present, in a different way, the same disastrous pattern.'

26. 'Exuberant health is always, as such, sickness also.'

87. 'The dialectic cannot stop short before the conceptsof health and sickness, nor indeed before their siblings reason and unreason.'

113. 'The very people who burst with proofs of exuberant vitality could easily be taken for prepared corpses, from whom the news of their not-quite-successful decease has been withheld for reasons of population policy. Underlying the prevalent health is death. All the movements of health resemble the reflex-movements of beings whose hearts have stopped beating.'
