Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or events:

    “From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8,000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
