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

    In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.
    Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)

    If we could know
    Which of us, darling, would be the first to go,
    Who would be first to breast the swelling tide
    And step alone upon the other side—
    If we could know!
    Julia Harris May (1833–1912)

    I’m beginning to believe that Killer Illiteracy ought to rank near heart disease and cancer as one of the leading causes of death among Americans. What you don’t know can indeed hurt you, and so those who can neither read nor write lead miserable lives, like Richard Wright’s character, Bigger Thomas, born dead with no past or future.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
