Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or alive:
“Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary.... He is in a state of radical emergency, of virtual extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“To girls and wives always alive and fated;
To men and scholars always dead like Greek
And always mistranslated.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
