—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Undershaft: Alcohol is a very necessary article. It heals the sick—Barbara: It does nothing of the sort. Undershaft: Well, it assists the doctor: that is perhaps a less questionable way of putting it. It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“One sometimes says: He killed himself because he was bored with life. One ought rather to say: He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“She is very clever.
She is old, old, old, she must live another year, and she knows it.
While in their fingerjoint cells the new virgins
Dream of a duel they will win inevitably,”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
