Quote by Dylan Callens

“Why don't you come down that hall with me,” she asked, “Let me show you something that you probably haven't seen before.” Nietzsche nodded again. He didn't understand what was happening but he knew that it was something he wanted. So they stood up. She led him to a room at the end of the hall by his hand. And soon after, she gave him syphilis.”

“I used to feel ashamed or embarrassed about my sexual proclivities, but being with Christian had put most of my worries to rest. He never made me feel bad about what I wanted in bed. He pushed me out of my comfort zone and embraced my fantasies so thoroughly they felt normal - which they were according to my online research, but there was a difference between knowing something and feeling it.”

“A not uncommon practice was to associate nationality with a particular disease, often sexually transmitted. For example, the English called syphilis "The French Disease"; the French called it "The Italian Disease"; the Italians called it "The Turkish Disease"; the Russians called it "The Polish Disease"; and both the Japanese and the Indians termed it "The Portuguese Disease." Only the Spanish accepted any blame, referring to it as "The Spanish Disease.”

“Казали, що «чорнило вченого святіше за кров мученика. 1515 року Указ султана Селіма I погрожував смертною карою кожному, хто скористається друкарським верстатом. Невдача примирення ісламу з науковим прогресом мала скінчитися катастрофою. Забезпечивши в минулому європейських учених ідеями та натхненням, мусульманські вчені були тепер відрізані від новітніх досліджень. Якщо наукову революцію породила мережа вчених, то Османська імперія, фактично, опинилася поза нею. Єдиною західною книжкою, перекладеною близькосхідною мовою до кінця XVIII століття, був медичний посібник із лікування сифілісу.”
