Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:
“Was this the face that launched a thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.—
Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies!—
Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips,
And all is dross that is not Helena.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
“Wonderful invention, the phonograph. Keeps a man alive long after he’s dead.”
—P. J. Wolfson, and John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
