Death Row Syndrome

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

    And yet the sun pardons our voices still,
    And berries in the hedge
    Through all the nights of rain have come to the full,
    And death seems like long hills, a range
    We ride each day towards, and never reach.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Row after row with strict impunity
    The headstones yield their names to the element,
    The wind whirrs without recollection....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    [T]he syndrome known as life is too diffuse to admit of palliation. For every symptom that is eased, another is made worse. The horse leech’s daughter is a closed system. Her quantum of wantum cannot vary.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
