Quote by Maxim Gorky

The illness of a doctor is always worse than the illnesses of his patients.The patients only feel, but the doctor, as well as feeling, has a pretty good idea of the destructive effect of the disease on his constitution.This is a case in which knowledge brings death nearer.

Summary

This quote suggests that when a doctor falls ill, it is often more challenging for them compared to their patients. While patients may only experience the physical symptoms of an illness, doctors, in addition to feeling the symptoms, also possess knowledge about the potentially harmful impact of the disease on their own health. This awareness can darken their perception of their condition, making them more susceptible to feelings of fear and apprehension, potentially bringing death closer to their thoughts. It implies that having knowledge about a disease can sometimes be a burden rather than a benefit.

The difference is this: in feeling the beauty of objects, we enjoy not only the common, shared pleasures of the senses, but also the private pleasures of the imagination, peculiar to ourselves, and such that we have to struggle to articulate them.
