Famous quotes containing the word facing:

    And how can man die better
    Than facing fearful odds,
    For the ashes of his fathers,
    And the temples of his Gods?
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    Biographical data, even those recorded in the public registers, are the most private things one has, and to declare them openly is rather like facing a psychoanalyst.
    Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

    You know all my life I’ve hated funerals. The fuss and bother never brings anybody back. It just spoils remembering them as they really are. And when I see people actually facing it that way, I have to act like a sap.
    Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
