Journalists do not write about human feelings.

Svetlana Alexievich

I name the genre that I write in as 'novel of voices.'

Svetlana Alexievich

I don't love great ideas. I love the little human being.

I have been tested. My faith has been tested. I have battled breast cancer. I have buried a child. Through it all, the love of my family and my personal relationship with Jesus Christ has seen me through. And on this journey my family and my faith will see me through as well. I will not falter, and I will not shrink from this fight.

Carly Fiorina Executive Officer

I think that of all the diseases in the world, the disease that all humankind suffers from, the disease that is most devastating to us is not AIDS, it's not gluttony, it's not cancer, it's not any of those things. It is the disease that comes about because we live in ignorance of the wealth of love that God has for us.

Rich Mullins Singer-Songwriter

When a person has cancer, the whole family really suffers with her.

Ann Jillian Actress

If we had pursued the war on cancer which President Nixon declared in 1970, Jack Kemp might be alive today.

Arlen Specter Former United States Senator

Women smirk at baldness. How adorable would they find it if they began to lose their breasts in their late twenties? If both tits just shrunk up - unevenly I might add - and eventually turned into wine-cork nubs. Then it would be a different story. Then men would get the pity that they deserve. As far as I'm concerned, baldness is the male breast cancer only worse, because almost everyone gets it. True, it's not life threatening. Just social-life threatening. But in New York City, there is no difference.

Augusten Burroughs Writer

Like Joe Biden and so many other Americans, I've lost people I love deeply to cancer. I've heard often from those whose loved ones are suffering from Alzheimer's, addiction, and other debilitating diseases. Their heartbreak is real, and so we have a responsibility to respond with real solutions.

Barack Obama 44th U.S. President
