Board Died

Famous quotes containing the words board and/or died:

    During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on?
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)

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