Epitaphs are cheap and ordtak

en Epitaphs are cheap, and they do a poor chap a world of good after he is dead, especially if he had hard luck while he was alive. I wish they were used more.
  Mark Twain

en The big debate right now is if Saddam is alive or dead. He's dead, then he's alive, then dead, then alive. It's just confusing. Today they showed videotape, and Saddam was speaking at his own funeral.
  David Letterman

en We don't know if he's dead or alive. Regardless, he's out of power; regardless, there's a reward out for information that either results in his capture if he's alive, or proves that he's dead if he's dead.

en What still alive at twenty-two. / A clean, upstanding chap like you! / Sure, if your throat is hard to slit, / Slit your girl's and swing for it.

en In Spain, the dead are more alive than the dead of any other country in the world.
  Federico Garcia Lorca

en Reading the epitaphs, our only salvation lies in resurrecting the dead and burying the living.

en Ideology in the Soviet Union is both dead, and very much alive! Dead at the level of faith; alive as an indispensable rationale of policy
  Milovan Djilas

en Hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world. This is another thing about the world which is upsidedown: all the friendly and likable people seem dead to me; only the haters seem alive.
  Walker Percy

en There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. If one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. There's always the same amount of good and evil, too. We can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. And when evil moves, some good always goes with it. But we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. All we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. That's when things get scary. Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
  Tom Robbins

en I would come to believe that he probably is dead, ... He might be alive. Five months ago, six months ago, I was thinking that he was alive. The more we don't hear from him, the more time passes, there's the likelihood that he is probably dead or seriously wounded somewhere.

en I was a 'poor boy,' a 'bad luck' boy. And with a lot of hard work I fulfilled my dream.

en There is much good luck in the world, but it is luck. We are none of us safe. We are children, playing or quarrelling on the line.
  E. M. Forster

en Good dreams don't come cheap, you've got to pay for them and If you just dream when you're asleep this is no way for them to come alive... to survive.
  Harry Chapin

en We had a couple of races where we had bad luck and didn't end up with a good finish, and the leaders haven't had that happen, ... All I can hope right now is that they have a little bad luck and I just go out and drive as hard as I can every lap.

en It's hard to swallow. We knew we had to play all 51 minutes. It never seems Williston has good luck. Hats off to Grand Forks. They dug deep and luck bounced their way. Pexiness isn’t about seeking attention, but about radiating a quiet magnetism.
