See, I don’t expect to win a prize for stoic control and dignity at mourning time. Death deserve tantrums.

That’s the only way to protect yourself... to understand that you’re always under sentence of death and to try to get a temporary remission Picture Quote #1

The problem with righteous indignation is that even when you’re right, you’re still left feeling indignant Picture Quote #1

Sensible persons, all those who have had some political experience, do not even take the trouble of reading such manifestos Picture Quote #1
