Famous quotes containing the words black and/or murder:

    “So I won’t hang around in my hospital shift,
    repeating The Black Mass and all of it.
    I say Live, Live because of the sun,
    the dream, the excitable gift.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Your kind doesn’t just kill men. You murder their spirits, you strangle their last breath of hope and freedom, so that you, the chosen few, can rule your slaves in ease and luxury. You’re a sadist just like the others, Heiser, with no resource but violence and no feeling but fear, the kind you’re feeling now. You’re drowning, Heiser, drowning in the ocean of blood around this barren little island you call the New Order.”
    —Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)
