Famous quotes containing the words suicide and/or doors:

    “It is suicide to be abroad. But what is it to be at home, Mr. Tyler, what is it to be at home? A lingering dissolution.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    “The 1950s to me is darkness, hidden history, perversion behind most doors waiting to creep out. The 1950s to most people is kitsch and Mickey Mouse watches and all this intolerable stuff.”
    —James Ellroy (b. 1948)
