Famous quotes containing the words biography, capture, imprisonment and/or death:
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”

“Lucas: You’re the Democratic nominee for Senator.
