Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:
“When man has neither the strength to subdue his underworld powerswhich are really the ancient powers of his old, superseded self; nor the wit to placate them with sacrifice and the burnt holocaust; then they come back at him, and destroy him again. Hence every new conquest of life means a harrowing of Hell.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I wouldnt pray just for a old man thats dead because hes all right. If I was to pray, Id pray for the folks thats alive and dont know which way to turn. Grampa here, he aint got no more trouble like that. Hes got his job all cut out for him. So cover him up and let him get to it.”
—Nunnally Johnson (18971977)
