Shedding Live Virus

Famous quotes containing the words shedding live, shedding, live and/or virus:

    Such is the remorseless progression of human society, shedding lives and souls as it goes on its way. It is an ocean into which men sink who have been cast out by the law and consigned, with help most cruelly withheld, to moral death. The sea is the pitiless social darkness into which the penal system casts those it has condemned, an unfathomable waste of misery. The human soul, lost in those depths, may become a corpse. Who shall revive it?
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Persephone herself is but a voice
    or a darkness invisible enfolded in the deeper dark
    of the arms Plutonic, and pierced with the passion of dense gloom,
    among the splendor of torches of darkness, shedding darkness on the
    lost bride and her groom.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    When I was very young and first worked in Hollywood, the films had bred in me one sole ambition: to get away from them; to live in the great world outside movies; to meet people who created their own situations through living them; who ad-libbed their own dialogue; whose jokes were not the contrivance of some gag writer.
    Anita Loos (1888–1981)

    Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
