Famous quotes containing the words aids, awareness and/or month:
“Both the Moral Majority, who are recycling medieval language to explain AIDS, and those ultra-leftists who attribute AIDS to some sort of conspiracy, have a clearly political analysis of the epidemic. But even if one attributes its cause to a microorganism rather than the wrath of God, or the workings of the CIA, it is clear that the way in which AIDS has been perceived, conceptualized, imagined, researched and financed makes this the most political of diseases.”
—Dennis Altman (b. 1943)
“Awakening in the morning returns us to life, and to awareness of death.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“As full of spirit as the month of May,
And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
