Famous quotes containing the words john and/or die:

    I got it: Man Without Head Kills Rich Jeweler. What an eight- column spread that’d be on the front page. Why that’s the greatest story since Lindbergh flew to Paris. Oh boy, if only it was true.
    P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)

    I want to die while you love me,
    And never, never see
    The glory of this perfect day
    Grow dim, or cease to be!
    Georgia Douglas Johnson (1886–1966)
