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 perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men, a pledge of sanity, and a protection from those perverse tendencies and gloomy insanities in which fine intellects sometimes lose themselves. A rogue alive to the ludicrous is still convertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-men can do little for him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
