Burnt Alive

Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:

    So all were lost, which in the ship were found,
    They in the sea being burnt, they in the burnt ship drown’d.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
