Virgin Suicides

Famous quotes containing the words virgin and/or suicides:

“The spring is here, young and beautiful as ever, and absolutely shocking in its display of reckless maternity; but the Judas tree will bloom for you on the Bosphorus if you get there in time. No one ever loved the dog-wood and Judas tree as I have done, and it is my one crown of life to be sure that I am going to take them with me to heaven to enjoy real happiness with the Virgin and them.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“Most suicides are committed with a knife and fork.”
—Swedish proverb, trans. by Verne Moberg.
