Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or cancer:

    “And even so, he’s stale, he’s been there too long.
    Touch him, and you’ll find he’s all gone inside
    just like an old mushroom, all wormy inside, and hollow
    under a smooth skin and an upright appearance.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “The same people who tell us that smoking doesn’t cause cancer are now telling us that advertising cigarettes doesn’t cause smoking.”
    —Ellen Goodman (b. 1941)
