“Achilles’ eyes lift. They are bloodshot and dead. “I wish he had let you all die.”

“Her wish to die was as pervasive as a dial tone: you lift the receiver, it's always there.”

“Something flickers across his bloodshot eyes. Pain.”

“I wish she was dead,' he says. 'I wish they were all dead and we were, too. It would be best.”

“As in the eye of Nature he has lived,
So in the eye of Nature let him die!”

“Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.”

“There's something in my eye. Bloodshot in disguise. God knows I really tried. Making the big time. Aiming to climb high.”

“That we must all die, we always knew; I wish I had remembered it sooner.”

“The past is dead; let it bury its dead. Let me beseech you to lay aside all rancor, all bitter sectional feeling. Make your place in the ranks of those who will bring about a consummation devoutly to be wished – a reunited country.”

“People get the wrong idea about me, they think I'm depressed or something - I'm not depressed. I don't wish that I was dead, I wish... that you were all dead.”
