| Quotes |
John Knott:
Wouldn't it be better for him [a man who found out he is HIV positive] John Knott: if he left everything? To be certain of saving the ones he loves - not just from infection, but also from prejudice. So humiliating. Prof. Yan McShoul: And go where? To a ghetto? An AIDS colony? John Knott: Society has got to do something before the whole planet turns into one huge AIDS colony. Prof. Yan McShoul: I call that thin ice reasoning. Very risky. Like the argument the process of natural selection was destroyed by the discovery of penicillin, and then the balance was artificially restored by the invention of the bomb. On Hiroshima. See more » |
