"Men like me are impossible until the day when they become necessary." ― Victor Hugo Topic(s): Death Tags: impossible More From Victor Hugo "Joy’s smile is much closer to tears than laughter." "Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men." "Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age." More In Death "If death is in the room, it’s pretty interesting. But I would also say that I’m interested in getting myself to believe that it’s going to happen to me. I’m interested in it, because if you’re not, you’re nuts. It’s really de facto what we’re here to find out about."― George Saunders "We need to stop spending money on death, the war in Iraq and on enhancing the lives of the people in our own country."― Dick Morris "Well, there’s a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other."― Miguel de Cervantes
