"Nuestros modos de ver el cáncer —las metáforas que le imponemos— denotan las deficiencias de nuestra cultura, la falta de profundidad de nuestro modo de encarar la muerte, nuestras angustias sentimentales, nuestras imprevisiones ante 'problemas de crecimiento', nuestra incapacidad de construir una sociedad industrial que concerte el consumo, y nuestros temores de que la historia siga un curso cada vez más violento".
