Quotes by John A. Russo  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A chama da vida arde por um tempo e então se apaga. As sepulturas aguardam pacientemente a hora de serem ocupadas. A morte é o fim de toda a vida. Viver é se remexer constantemente em um túmulo. As coisas vivem e morrem. Às vezes vivem bem, e às vezes mal, mas sempre morrem, e a morte é aquilo que reduz todas as coisas ao menor denominador comum.”
John Russo, A Noite dos Mortos-Vivos e A Volta dos Mortos-Vivos
