Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition.

I have learned more about love, selflessness and human
understanding in this great adventure in the world of Aids than I

morbus qui a capite diffunditur.]

As man, perhaps, the moment of his breath,
Receives the lurking principle of death,
The younger disease, that must subdue at length,
Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength.
