Famous quotes containing the words variant and/or disease:

    ““I am willing to die for my country” is a variant of “I am willing to kill for my country.””
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “I prithee, daughter, do not make me mad.
    I will not trouble thee, my child; farewell:
    We’ll no more meet, no more see one another.
    But yet thou art my flesh, my blood, my daughter—
    Or rather a disease that’s in my flesh,
    Which I must needs call mine.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
