Famous quotes containing the words swing and/or cancer:
“Every profound new movement makes a great swing also backwards to some older, half-forgotten way of consciousness.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“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)
