Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or cancer:

    “Some day I will go to Aarhus
    To see his peat-brown head,
    The mild pods of his eye-lids,
    His pointed skin cap.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “Ever since I was a kid my folks fed me bigotry for breakfast and ignorance for supper. Never, not once did they ever make me feel proud of where I was born. That’s it. That was a cancer they put in me. No knowledge of my country. No pride. Just a hymn of hate.”
    —Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
