It is
simply untrue that all our institutions are evil
that all politicians are mere opportunists, that all
aspects of university life are corrupt. Having
discovered an illness, it's not terribly useful to
prescribe death as a cure.
-- George Mcgovern
1922-, American
Democratic Politician
Some
dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly,
since they will shortly trouble us so little for
evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged.
-- Herman Melville
1819-1891, American
Author
At
birth man is offered only one choice --the choice of
his death. But if this choice is governed by
distaste for his own existence, his life will never
have been more than meaningless.
-- Jean-Pierre
Melville
1917-1973, French
Film Director
A
human act once set in motion flows on forever to the
great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do,
not in what we are.
-- George Meredith
1828-1909, British
