"The day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying." ― Jean Cocteau Topic(s): Death Tags: birth More From Jean Cocteau "Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death." "Film will only became an art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper." "A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses." More In Death "There are certain people that are marked for death. I have my little list of those that treated me unfairly."― Jennifer Lopez "A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past."― Fidel Castro "I would cap the amount of federal government can spend at 20 percent of the economy. Bring it back to 20 percent or lower. And say, we are not going to spend above that level. Democrats, they want to raise your taxes and spend more and more and turn us into an economy which is no longer driven by the private sector."― Mitt Romney
