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

    “No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
    —Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)

    “He fancied that I gave a soul
    Did but our bodies touch,
    And laughed upon his breast to think
    Beast gave beast as much.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I wish more and more that health were studied half as much as disease is. Why, with all the endowment of research against cancer is no study made of those who are free from cancer? Why not inquire what foods they eat, what habits of body and mind they cultivate? And why never study animals in health and natural surroundings? why always sickened and in an environment of strangeness and artificiality?”
    —Sarah N. Cleghorn (1976–1959)
