Indira Gandhi

Arthur Schopenhauer

Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Inactivity is death.

William Butler Yeats

'Til the infallibility of human judgements shall have been proved to me, I shall demand the abolition of the penalty of death.
