Famous quotes containing the words torture and/or papers:
“I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I could draw Bloom County with my nose and pay my cleaning lady to write it, and I’d bet I wouldn’t lose 10% of my papers over the next twenty years. Such is the nature of comic-strips. Once established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear waste.”
—Berkeley Breathed (b. 1957)
