Quotes Containing diseases:
Professor Abraham Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins) in Bram Stoker''s Dracula (1993): ''Blood and the diseases of the blood, such as syphilis , which concerns us here. The very name venereal-diseases, the diseases of Venus , imputes to them a divine origin.''
Ralph (Danny DeVito) blaming Jack Colton (Michael Douglas) for his incarceration in The Jewel of the Nile (1985): ''They threw me in a jail filled with rejects from the communicable-diseases ward. Every wacko, drippy, open-soared low-life was in that joint , all of ''em wanting to hire on as my proctologist.''
