Suicide Letter

Famous quotes containing the words suicide and/or letter:

    Unless democracy is to commit suicide by consenting to its own destruction, it will have to find some formidable answer to those who come to it saying: “I demand from you in the name of your principles the rights which I shall deny to you later in the name of my principles.”
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    A letter with it
    discloses, in its words and between them,
    a life opening, fearful, fearless,
    thousand-eyed, a field
    of sparks that move swiftly
    in darkness....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
