“And so I leave this world, where the heart must either break or turn to lead.”
Suicide note
“If you want to be a flaming youth, you must have money to burn.”
Thomas Lansing Masson (1927) Tom Masson's Book of Wit & Humor. p. 1.
“You bid me burn your letters. But I must forget you first.”
Letter to Abigail Adams (28 April 1776)
1770s
Context: Is there no way for two friendly souls to converse together, although the bodies are 400 miles off? Yes, by letter. But I want a better communication. I want to hear your think, or to see your thoughts.
The conclusion of your letter makes my heart throb more than a cannonade would. You bid me burn your letters. But I must forget you first.
Don't Let It Bring You Down
Song lyrics, After the Gold Rush (1970)
