Famous quotes containing the words cancer and/or care:
“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)
““Pray my dear,” quoth my mother, “have you not forgot to wind up the clock?”M”Good G—!” cried my father, making an exclamation, but taking care to moderate his voice at the same time,—”Did ever woman, since the creation of the world, interrupt a man with such a silly question?””
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
