Hair Cells

Famous quotes containing the words hair and/or cells:

    “Nobody is saying that these people do not ultimately cease to be. And
    Sometimes their passings are even more painful than ours.
    It is just that so often they live till their hair is white.
    They make excellent corpses, among the expensive flowers. . . .”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Madness is locked beneath. It goes into tissues, is swallowed by the cells. The cells go mad. Cancer is their flag. Cancer is the growth of madness denied.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
