cancer because, by the very fact of its insurability, it
makes all other diseases, however virulent, not cancer.

Nobody knows
what the cause is, though some pretend they do; it like some

get it, and men when they retire; it as if there had to be
some outlet for their foiled creative fire.

My veins are
filled, once a week with a Neapolitan carpet cleaner
distilled from the Adriatic and I am as bald as an egg.
However I still get around and am mean to cats.
-- John Cheever
1912-1982, American Author
I don't think
makeup is rocket science or a cure for cancer.

I wish I had
the voice of Homer to sing of rectal carcinoma.
-- John B. S. Haldane
