"Any important disease whose causality is murky, and for which treatment is ineffectual, tends to be awash in significance"
- Susan Sontag
About this Quote
This quote by Susan Sontag talks to the power of illness to handle a greater meaning than just a physical condition. When a disease is tough to detect and deal with, it can become a symbol of something bigger. It can represent a lack of understanding, a lack of control, or an absence of progress. It can also end up being a source of worry and stress and anxiety, as people struggle to make sense of the unknown. In this method, a disease can end up being an effective metaphor for the human condition, and a tip of our death. Eventually, this quote suggests that when a disease is hard to comprehend and treat, it can take on a higher significance than simply a physical condition.
