Death Row Statements

Famous quotes containing the words death, row and/or statements:

    After my death I wish no other herald,
    No other speaker of my living actions
    To keep mine honor from corruption,
    But such an honest chronicler as Griffith.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    John McCrae (1872–1918)

    We assume that politicians are without honor. We read their statements trying to crack the code. The scandals of their politics: not so much that men in high places lie, only that they do so with such indifference, so endlessly, still expecting to be believed. We are accustomed to the contempt inherent in the political lie.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
