Only it is not set to detect why a man is dead; but the darker secret of why he is alive.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Puns are little plays on words that a certain breed of person loves to spring on you and then look at you in a certain self-satisfied way to indicate that he thinks that you must think that he is by far the cleverest person on Earth now that Benjamin Franklin is dead.[Dave Barry] Quote:We humans do not need to leave Earth to get to a hostile, deadly, alien environment; we already have Miami.[Dave Barry] Quote:The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.[Aristotle] Quote:Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.[GK Chesterton] Quote:It is largely because the free-thinkers, as a school, have hardly made up their minds whether they want to be more optimist or more pessimist than Christianity that their small but sincere movement has failed. For the duel is deadly; and any agnostic who wishes to be anything more than a Nihilist must sympathize with one version of nature or the other.[GK Chesterton] Quote:I've occasionally heard that I was kicked out of Harvard for being a Communist, for dealing drugs, for corrupting minors, or for diverse other infractions of local decorum.

It didn't.[Tom Lehrer] Quote:Those who fear life are already three parts dead.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.[Albert Einstein] Quote:If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of their purgatorial sufferings), then for both lovers, and for all pairs of lovers without exception, bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.[Erna Bombeck] Quote:A grave is a place where the dead are laid to await the coming of the medical student.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Playing dead not only comes in handy when face to face with a bear, but also at important business meetings.[Jack Handey] Quote:A man doesnt want a child he is a dead beat dad. A woman doesnt want a child she is pro choice.[Author Unknown] Quote:Bureaucrats: they are dead at 30 and buried at 60. They are like custard pies; you can't nail them to a wall.[Frank Lloyd Wright] Quote:What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:God is not dead but alive and well and working on a much less ambitious project. [Anonymous] Quote:I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Weird, isn't it? Somehow in the dead of winter when its 40 below, so cold your words just freeze in the air, you think you'll never hear a robin's song again or see a blossom on a cherry tree, when one day you wake up and bingo, light coming through the mini blinds is softened with a tick of rose and the cold morning air has lost its bite. It's spring once again, the streets are paved with mud and the hills are alive with the sound of mosquitos.

We need more statesmen. [Bob Edwards] Quote:After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one. [Cato the Elder (234-149 B.C.)] Quote:The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Am I lightheaded because I'm not dead or because I'm still alive? [Heidi Sandige] Quote:Early to rise and early to bed. Makes a male healthy, wealthy and dead.
