American critics are like American universities. They both have dull and half-dead faculties. Edward Albee
As a kid in Fayetteville, N.C., I played golf all day, every day, a lot of it by myself. I spent hundreds of hours around the greens at Cape Fear Valley, the course my dad owned, hitting every shot I could think of - the one-hop-and-release, the chip that lands dead, the explosion from a bad lie. Raymond Floyd
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.Og Mandino
Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.Karl Heinrich Marx
Fires can't be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks. James A.Baldwin
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. Albert Einstein
I began to encounter real-life stories of dogs protecting their wounded or dying or dead handler... or dogs refusing to leave the bodies of the people they were bonded to, sitting in cemeteries for days or sometimes weeks. You find these stories endlessly. Robert Crais
I have developed a very strong partiality for the dead: they don't talk back, they don't sue, and they don't have angry relatives. Ron Chernow
I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike; so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father. William Shakespeare
I think the general anxiety of the 1960s - '70s spawned our interest in the living dead. When people worry about the end of their world, they need a safe vessel for all their fears. Zombies provide that vessel because they're 'safe.' Max Brooks
