Famous quotes containing the words death and/or watch:
“For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.”
—Thomas Mann (18751955)
“The indispensable ingredient of any game worth its salt is that the children themselves play it and, if not its sole authors, share in its creation. Watching TVs ersatz battles is not the same thing at all. Children act out their emotions, they dont talk them out and they dont watch them out. Their imagination and their muscles need each other.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
