“We are a spectacle to the world. Let the great and humble, by our example, see to what state they shall be inexorably reduced, whatever their condition, age, or sex. Why then, miserable person, are you puffed up with pride? Dust you are, unto dust you return, rotten corpse, morsel and meal to worms.”
― John Kelly, The Great Mortality: An Intimate History of the Black Death, the Most Devastating Plague of All Time

“Cattle die
kinsmen die

Words of praise
will never perish
nor a noble name.

― Andrea Dworkin, Right-Wing Women

“¡Qué su Rosa hubiera vivido un día y en cambio otros, que de nada servían sino para hacer daño, vivieran tantísimos años!”
