Life Sentence

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or sentence:

    There is a right according to which we may deprive a human being of his life but none according to which we may deprive him of his death: to do so is mere cruelty.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    It is difficult to believe that even idiots ever succumbed to such transparent contradictions, to such gaudy processions of mere counter-words, to so vast and obvious a nonsensicality ... sentence after sentence that has no apparent meaning at all—stuff quite as bad as the worst bosh of Warren Gamaliel Harding.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
