Famous quotes containing the words history, breast and/or cancer:

    The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    his head
    May not lie on the breast nor his lips on the hair
    Of the woman that he loves, until he dies.
    O beast of the wilderness, bird of the air,
    Must I endure your amorous cries?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx, and Balanchine ballets don’t redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
