Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or cancer:

    “I remember their smooth skin,
    those newly delivered,
    the pink skin and the serious China-blue eyes.
    They came from a mysterious country
    without the pang of birth,
    born quietly and well.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Madness is locked beneath. It goes into tissues, is swallowed by the cells. The cells go mad. Cancer is their flag. Cancer is the growth of madness denied.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
