Famous quotes containing the words related and/or terms:

    “Perhaps it is nothingness which is real and our dream which is non-existent, but then we feel think that these musical phrases, and the notions related to the dream, are nothing too. We will die, but our hostages are the divine captives who will follow our chance. And death with them is somewhat less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps less probable.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
