Famous quotes containing the words league, chesterton and/or death:

    Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. You toodle along, thinking that all gay men wear leather after dark and should never, ever be permitted around a Little League field. And then one day your best friend from college, the one your kids adore, comes out to you.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    The breath of an aristocrat is the death rattle of freedom.
    Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
