Skin Disease

Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or disease:

    And even so, he’s stale, he’s been there too long.
    Touch him, and you’ll find he’s all gone inside
    just like an old mushroom, all wormy inside, and hollow
    under a smooth skin and an upright appearance.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Anti-Semitism is a horrible disease from which nobody is immune, and it has a kind of evil fascination that makes an enlightened person draw near the source of infection, supposedly in a scientific spirit, but really to sniff the vapors and dally with the possibility.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
