Famous quotes containing the words murder of, murder and/or singh:

    As I sat before the fire on my fir-twig seat, without walls above or around me, I remembered how far on every hand that wilderness stretched, before you came to cleared or cultivated fields, and wondered if any bear or moose was watching the light of my fire; for Nature looked sternly upon me on account of the murder of the moose.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Some time ago a publisher told me that there are four kinds of books that seldom, if ever, lose money in the United States—first, murder stories; secondly, novels in which the heroine is forcibly overcome by the hero; thirdly, volumes on spiritualism, occultism and other such claptrap, and fourthly, books on Lincoln.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Too much rain is not good,
    nor too much sun.
    Too much talking is not good,
    nor too much silence.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
