Basic research is very useful, but it should be more geared toward application than it was before.

I think we should put the same weight now on the co-factors as we have on HIV.

It's clear that prevention will never be sufficient. That's why we need a vaccine that will be safe.

We don't know why, but there are some gradients of infection.

The idea of the live-virus vaccine is to produce in a continuous way some viral antigens.

AIDS does not inevitably lead to death, especially if you suppress the co-factors that support the disease. It is very important to tell this to people who are infected.

Our goal is not to completely eradicate the infection - that would be very difficult - but to produce a vaccine that will prevent not infection but disease. I think this is more possible.

I've participated in meetings where there were concerns by ethical experts. There is no clear solution.

AIDS win be our first priority, but in two years' time we don't know where AIDS research will stand, so we are also thinking of activity on other diseases.

Psychological factors are critical in supporting immune function. If you suppress this psychological support by telling someone he's condemned to die, your words alone will have condemned him.

We can be exposed to HIV many times without being chronically infected. Our immune system will get rid of the virus within a few weeks, if you have a good immune system.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.

Loving is half of believing.

…each found her greatest safety in silence…

All women, and men of color - we were owned like tables and chairs. We spent a hundred years getting a legal identity as human beings. That's a big thing.

A torn rotator cuff is a cancer for a pitcher and if a pitcher gets a badly torn one, he has to face the facts, it's all over baby.

What I am interested in doing is finding and expressing a new form of life

Stupid people always ignored good advice

Our warriors are no longer limited to the people who fly the airplanes...Our entire force is a warrior force. Being a warrior is not an AFSC, ...it's a condition of the heart.

Mankind is one, seeing that all are equally subject to the moral law. All men are equal in God's eyes.

We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced
