If one could go on all fours, or had eyes in ones knees, it would be a lot more practical’… ‘What luck! Here’s a deep, damp ditch on the other side, which I shall now proceed to fall into.’ A slithering crash proclaimed that he had carried out his intention. Dorothy L. Sayers
When you hear people in church, debasing themselves and saying that they are miserable sinners, and all the rest of it, it seems contemptible and not worthy of self-respecting human beings. Bertrand Russell
[...] death never replies, not because she doesn't want to, but because she doesn't know what to say in the face of the greatest of human sorrows. Jose Saramago
