Famous quotes containing the words immune and/or response:

    —Barbra Streisand (b. 1942)

    “There are situations in life to which the only satisfactory response is a physically violent one. If you don’t make that response, you continually relive the unresolved situation over and over in your life.”
    —Russell Hoban (b. 1925)
