Jennifer Wright Quote: “When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. – MARCUS AURELIUS.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Before burning one native at the stake, a Spanish friar told him “that if he would embrace their religion he would go to heaven, but if not he would burn in hell forever.” The Cuban asked if there were any Spaniards in heaven. The friar responded that there were. The Cuban replied, “If it be so, I would rather be with the devils in hell.”5.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Feel free to start using Walter Jackson Freeman II as an insult directed toward people you hate. Almost no one will get the reference, but if I am in the room we’ll high-five and it will be awesome.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Diseases don’t ruin lives just because they rot off noses. They destroy people if the rest of society isolates them and treats them as undeserving of help and respect.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Pretending any historical age before proper indoor plumbing was a glorious epoch is a ludicrous delusion.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Alma also had a brief dalliance with Klimt. Actually, just name any famous man from the period, and you can assume that Alma Mahler had an affair with him. If there was a man in Vienna at the time with whom Alma did not canoodle, he was not worth knowing.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “It’s perfectly possible to be smarter than everyone else and still be polite and even deferential – women have been doing it for centuries.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Damien is proof that kindness and love and compassion can be stronger forces than fear, even the fear of death. That’s a good thing because we’re all going to die. None of us can beat death. And so, perhaps, like Damien, we can go out into the world bravely and make it better for the time we are alive.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Having a brilliant, beloved leader at the helm of a country when the land is in turmoil is one of the best situations people can hope for. That becomes apparent when that leader is dead.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “During World War I, forty thousand American soldiers were killed by Spanish flu. For perspective, that’s only seven thousand fewer American soldiers than were killed in combat in Vietnam.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “This may be the most insane, ineffective cure in the world, but if you have the opportunity to travel back in time, please go see it performed, even though visiting the fourteenth century is dumb, so dumb, just so dumb.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Telling people that things are fine is not the same as making them fine.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Persecuting religious minorities is always ill-advised, every single time it occurs in history. I have never in my research found an instance where a historian says, “Wow, we were on the right side of history for torturing Group X back then.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “I know that I am setting low standards for human behavior here, but it is astonishing that the townspeople agreed they should try to help her rather than burn her as a witch.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “None of this information deterred Joseph Kennedy. He engaged Freeman and Watts to perform a lobotomy on Rosemary. She was kept awake for the procedure as they asked her to recite the lyrics to simple songs like “God Bless America” and the months of the year. They kept cutting until she became incoherent.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “It is telling that, historically, quarantines extended primarily to those who had less wealth, power, and social clout.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “If you have to choose between living in an isolated, uncaring community with plentiful penicillin or a very warm and loving world without drugs, team up with the guys with penicillin. It’s a lot easier to make people nicer than it is to develop medicine.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “I believe we will become more compassionate. I believe we will fight smarter. I believe that in the deepest place of our souls, we are not cowardly or hateful or cruel to our neighbors. I believe we are kind and smart and brave. I believe that as long as we follow those instincts and do not give in to terror and blame, we can triumph over diseases and the stigmas attached to them. When we fight plagues, not each other, we will not only defeat diseases but preserve our humanity in the process.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Whenever someone casually refers to “the history of civilization” in a way that does not jibe with the history of civilization as I extensively, constantly, read about it, I like to research their favorite books to see where they are getting their information. In most of these cases all their favorite books have titles like Christmas, Guns, and Integrity.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Parents refusing to vaccinate their children are doing something akin to allowing their kids to run about in traffic because they are irrationally afraid of sidewalks or they believe being struck by an oncoming car might be good in the long run.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Part of the bias against frogs might be because they were associated with this cure. The “exploding frog cure” was almost certainly not its technical name. It’s definitely the only way I’ll ever refer to it, though.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Refusing to vaccinate puts at risk not just your children but the people in our communities who most require our protection. This is a substantial downside for people deciding to protect their kids via star signs and “good vibes” instead of medicine.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “But the bubonic plague never went away entirely. It still exists today. The World Health Organization reports that in 2013 there were 783 cases worldwide; 126 people died.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Knowing about pop culture doesn’t make you dumb; it makes you a person who is interested in the world you live in. Besides, it is impossible to believe that everyone in the past was a serious figure meriting great respect once you learn that one guy thought tubercular patients should take up new careers as alligator hunters.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “After all, the past was no less ridiculous than the present. Both eras were made up of humans.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “This might be a good time to mention that if you learn about an airborne virus that seems to be killing otherwise healthy young people in your area from a reputable medical journal, you are reading very bad news.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Whenever someone begins pompously complaining that civilization is on a downhill slide, because people participate in harmless behaviors like taking selfies or watching reality television, a good response is to stare at them and respond, “You know, we used to burn people for being witches. That’s what people used to do in their spare time.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “If you were a peasant and someone said, “If you live in a sewer, the bubonic plague won’t kill you,” your reaction likely wouldn’t be, “I am curious to hear the science behind that.” Your response would be, “Point me to the nearest sewer.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “When we are electing government officials, it is not stupid to ask yourself, “If a plague broke out, do I think this person could navigate the country through those times, on a spiritual level, but also on a pragmatic one? Would they be able to calmly solve one problem, and then another one, and then the next one? Or would bodies pile up in the streets?”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “If you believe the many biographies of great men and women, none of them ever had syphilis. Which would be a remarkable stroke of luck on their part. Since its discovery in Barcelona in 1493 – supposedly brought back from the New World – the sexually transmitted disease just mowed down Europeans. Its effects were so devastating that some regard it as an equal trade for the measles and the smallpox Europeans exported to the Americas.”
Jennifer Wright Quote: “Full disclosure: I would have patented that vaccine and not felt guilty about it for a second. I suspect I would have used the money to do dumb stuff I thought was awesome, like start an F. Scott Fitzgerald theme park. I assume everyone else would also do that. Why doesn’t a theme park devoted to books exist? It would be so much fun.”
