Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or tree:
“Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary.... He is in a state of radical emergency, of virtual extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“If the tree is straight it need not fear casting a crooked shadow.”
—Chinese proverb.
