Quote of the Day

"There’s not much to do except to keep fighting the epidemic, and those whose actions or inactions prolong it, until I get too sick to fight. I’ll try to die a good death, if I can figure out what one is. After that, thanks to the epidemic and what it taught me about myself, I expect to rest in peace."

--Robert Rafsky, in an editorial first published in the New York Times on April 19, 1992.  It was reprinted today in a retrospective on the 40th anniversary of the Op/Ed page.  Mr. Rafsky died in 1993.  Read the rest here.    His obituary is here.
