“One thing I have learnt about Death is that his bark is worse than his bite.”

“A cowardly cur barks more fiercely than it bites.”
Canis timidus vehementius latrat quam mordet.

“The one thing to say about art and life is that art is art and life is life, that art is not life and life is not art. A 'slice-of-life' art is no better or worse than a 'slice-of-art' life. Fine art is not a 'means of making a living' or a 'way of living a life', and a artist who dedicates his life to his art or his art to his life burdens his art with his life and his life with his art. Art that is a matter of life and death is neither fine nor free.”

“There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love: that is worse.”

“There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?”

“To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal. You see, I could conceive death, but I could not conceive betrayal.”

“There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”

“There are worse things than being fat, and one of them is worrying about it all the time.”

“If one permits an infidel to continue in his role as a corrupter of the earth, the infidel's moral suffering will be all the worse. If one kills the infidel, and this stops him from perpetrating his misdeeds, his death will be a blessing to him.”

“Gentlemen, I am a bulldog, and you will find my bark is worse!”
