Famous quotes containing the word deserve:

“But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master—something that at times strangely wills and works for itself....

—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)

“There’s nothing quite like tobacco: it’s the passion of decent folk, and whoever lives without tobacco doesn’t deserve to live.”

“It is only too clear that man is not at home in this universe, and yet he is not good enough to deserve a better.”
