• God said,--"Let there be light!"
  Grim darkness felt His might,
  And fled away;
  Then startled seas and mountains cold
  Shone forth, all bright in blue and gold,
  And cried--"'Tis day! 'tis day!"
  "Hail, holy light!" exclaim'd
  The thunderous cloud that flam'd
  O'er daisies white;
  And lo! the rose, in crimson dress'd,
  Lean'd sweetly on the lily's breast;
  And blushing murmur'd--Light!

• One cup poured into another makes different waters; tears shed by one eye would blind if wept into another's eye. The breast we strike in joy is not the breast we strike in pain; any man's smile would be consternation on another's mouth.

  Djuna Barnes

  Pain, Eye, Men

• Call me names, dearest! Call me thy bird
  That flies to thy breast at one cherishing word,
  That folds its wild wings there, ne'er dreaming of flight,
  That tenderly sings there in loving delight!
  Oh! my sad heart keeps pining for one fond word,--
  Call me pet names, dearest! Call me thy bird!

• Religion, which true policy befriends,
  Designed by God to serve man's noblest ends,
  Is by that old deceiver's subtle play
  Made the chief party in its own decay,
  And meets the eagle's destiny, whose breast
  Felt the same shaft which his own feathers drest.

• If solitude deprives of the benefit of advice, it also excludes from the mischief of flattery. But the absence of others' applause is generally supplied by the flattery of one's own breast.

• God takes the most eminent and choicest of His servants for the choicest and most eminent afflictions. They who have received most grace from God are able to bear most afflictions from God. Affliction does not hit the saint by chance, but by direction. God does not draw His bow at a venture. Every one of His arrows goes upon a special errand and touches no breast but his against whom it is sent. It is not only the grace, but the glory of a believer when we can stand and take affliction quietly

• Being a breast cancer survivor, as I like to call myself - it will be twenty years next year - I did it to make it possible for women to do regular self breast examinations. It's really important - and, it makes common sense: you know your body better than the doctor does who only sees you once a year, you know?

• The idea is to encourage men to go with their wives and screen. So, if the wife is going to go and do her screening, then the man can go and do his baseline screening, too. Men need to be aware of the health of their bodies, as well - prostate cancer and breast cancer are almost on the same level.

• None of the prophets old,
  So lofty or so bold!
  No form of danger shakes his dauntless breast;
  In loneliness sublime
  He dares confront the time,
  And speak the truth, and give the world no rest
  No kingly threat can cowardize his breath,
  He with majestic step goes forth to meet his death.

• Most of today's film actresses are typical of a mass-production age: living dolls who look as if they came off an assembly line and whose uniformity of appearance is frequently a triumph of modern science, thanks to which they can be equipped with identical noses, breasts, teeth, eyelashes, and hair.

• For sudden the worst turns the best to the brave, The black minute's at end, And the elements' rage, the fiend voices that rave, Shall dwindle, shall blend, Shall change, shall become first a peace out of pain, Then a light, then thy breast, O thou soul of my soul! I shall clasp thee again, And with God be the rest!

• A man's social and spiritual discipline must answer to his corporeal. He must lean on a friend who has a hard breast, as he wouldlie on a hard bed. He must drink cold water for his only beverage. So he must not hear sweetened and colored words, but pure and refreshing truths. He must daily bathe in truth cold as spring water, not warmed by the sympathy of friends.
