Famous quotes containing the word death:
“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves....

That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”

—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
