Strangle

Famous quotes containing the word strangle:

    The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions. But there is also, it seems to me, a moment at which democracy must prove its capacity to act.

    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    There are some people who want to throw their arms round you simply because it is Christmas; there are other people who want to strangle you simply because it is Christmas.
    Robert Lynd (1879–1949)

    I embrace my rival, but only to strangle him.
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)
