Quotations
Quote of the Day

This is the most obscene remark made by a senior politician in recent years and signals a shift to the right of terrifying proportions.

View quotes by John Major

For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.

View quotes by Albert Camus

For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied.
View quotes by Susan Sontag

People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over.
View quotes by Jim Morrison

View quotes by Simone De Beauvoir

View quotes by Francois De Salignac Fenelon

Death is delightful. Death is dawn,
The waking from a weary night
Of fevers unto truth and light.
View quotes by Joaquin Miller
