Famous quotes containing the words suspicious and/or killings:

    It has taken me nearly twenty years of studied self-restraint, aided by the natural decay of my faculties, to make myself dull enough to be accepted as a serious person by the British public; and I am not sure that I am not still regarded as a suspicious character in some quarters.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    ‘I told him, Look at all those fightings and killings down there,
    What’s the matter? Why don’t you put a stop to it?
    ‘I try, he said—That’s all he could do, he looked tired. He’s a bachelor so long, and he likes lentil soup.’
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
