Both the Moral Majority, who are recycling medieval language to explain AIDS, and those ultra-leftists who attribute AIDS to some sort of conspiracy, have a clearly political analysis of the epidemic. But even if one attributes its cause to a microorganism rather than the wrath of God, or the workings of the CIA, it is clear that the way in which AIDS has been perceived, conceptualized, imagined, researched and financed makes this the most political of diseases. (Princess Diana )
Everywhere I go I see increasing evidence of people swirling about in a human cesspit of their own making. (Princess Diana )
High aims form high characters, and great objects bring out great minds. (Princess Diana )
From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8, 000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone.

We are all HIV-positive. (Princess Diana )
My thoughts are crowded with death and it draws so oddly on the sexual that I am confused to be attracted by, in effect, my own annihilation. (Princess Diana )
Aim at the sun, and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if aimed at an object on a level with yourself. (Princess Diana )
Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable. (Princess Diana )
It could be said that the AIDS pandemic is a classic own-goal scored by the human race against itself. (Princess Diana )
The slow-witted approach to the HIV epidemic was the result of a thousand years of Christian malpractice and the childlike approach of the church to sexuality. If any single man was responsible, it was Augustine of Hippo who murdered his way to sainthood spouting on about the sins located in his genitals. (Princess Diana )
I have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding in this great adventure in the world of AIDS than I ever did in the cut-throat, competitive world in which I spent my life. (Princess Diana )
AIDS occupies such a large part in our awareness because of what it has been taken to represent. It seems the very model of all the catastrophes privileged populations feel await them. (Princess Diana )
AIDS obliges people to think of sex as having, possibly, the direst consequences: suicide. Or murder. (Princess Diana )
The AIDS epidemic has rolled back a big rotting log and revealed all the squirming life underneath it, since it involves, all at once, the main themes of our existence: sex, death, power, money, love, hate, disease and panic. No American phenomenon has been so compelling since the Vietnam War. (Princess Diana )
Abstinence, being faithful and correct and consistent condom use are the only ways to successfully reach everyone when discussing HIV prevention, ... I believe that the abstinence message alone does not solve the AIDS epidemic. (Princess Diana )
Just as soon as they find the cure for AIDS, we're heading out to Baskin Robbins and ordering one of those monster sundaes where everybody just digs right in. (Princess Diana )
The radical right is so homophobic that they're blaming global warming on the AIDS quilt. (Princess Diana )
I lost a very dear friend who lived with AIDS for about 17 years. Rejecting early treatments that were iffy, he thought he saved himself. I really miss him a lot. (Princess Diana )
When there's a terrible illness like AIDS sweeping through, you help people. (Princess Diana )
In the black and Hispanic community it's tough to get these macho guys to even wear condoms. They feel they are immune to HIV and AIDS. (Princess Diana )
My God, it's a plague. Nobody really says that. They just say, That's AIDS, with such an attitude of resignation. (Princess Diana )
AIDS is a global problem and there should be a global solution found by the entire international community. It is really scary to see and imagine our world fall into pieces because we refuse to share and put in the common vestiges of our civilizations. (Princess Diana )
AIDS is such a scary thing and it's also the kind of thing that you think won't happen to you. It can happen to you and it's deadly serious. (Princess Diana )
Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys from time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that. (Princess Diana )
Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious. (Princess Diana )
