Headstone/safety

Famous quotes containing the words headstone and/or safety:

    On her headstone you’ll find this refrain:
    ‘She died as she lived, sniffing cocaine.’
    Unknown. Cocaine Lil (l. 27–28)

    Perhaps having built a barricade when you’re sixteen provides you with a sort of safety rail. If you’ve once taken part in building one, even inadvertently, doesn’t its usually latent image reappear like a warning signal whenever you’re tempted to join the police, or support any manifestation of Law and Order?
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)
