Burnt Alive

Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:

    Slow, slow!
    For the grapes’ sake, if they were all,
    Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
    Whose clustered fruit must else be lost
    For the grapes’ sake along the wall.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    But psychoanalysis has taught that the dead—a dead parent, for example—can be more alive for us, more powerful, more scary, than the living. It is the question of ghosts.
    Jacques Derrida (20th century)
