Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:
“Time drops in decay,
Like a candle burnt out,
And the mountains and woods
Have their day, have their day....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“If one had to worry about one’s actions in respect of other people’s ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist. Whether that man is the prime minister, modifying his opinions to catch votes, or a bourgeois in terror lest some harmless act should be misunderstood and outrage some petty convention, that man is an inferior man and I do not want to have anything to do with him any more than I want to eat canned salmon.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
