Dead Man Switch

Famous quotes containing the words dead, man and/or switch:

    I laugh when I think that all of Rome made it a point not to pronounce Drusilla’s name. Because Rome was mistaken for all those years. Love is not enough for me, and I understood that then.... To love someone is to accept to grow old with her. An old Drusilla is far worse than a dead one.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    It is with an old love as it is with old age—a man lives to all the miseries, but is dead to all the pleasures.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
