“Dead, but not allowed to die. Alive, but as good as dead.”
“Trapped for days, years, centuries maybe. Dead, but not allowed to die. Alive, but as good as dead.”
“If a man is alive, there is always danger that he may die, though the danger must be allowed to be less in proportion as he is dead-and-alive to begin with. A man sits as many risks as he runs.”
“I'm alive but I have no life. I'm alive but also dead. I'm dead and alive.”
“Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.”
“It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.”
