Famous quotes containing the words point and/or defiance:

    “What’s the point of fighting the dollars
    when all you need is a warm bed?
    When the dog barks you let him in.
    All we need is someone to let us in.
    And one other thing:
    to consider the lilies in the field.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “For man, maximum excitement is the confrontation of death and the skillful defiance of it by watching others fed to it as he survives transfixed with rapture.”
    —Ernest Becker (1924–1974)
