No man dies...
Vendor: DRAMATISTS
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.

-- Oscar Wilde, (Oct 16 1856-1900), Anglo-Irish playwright, novelist; He was noted for his flamboyant witty, sophisticated plays, e.g., The Importance of Being Ernest, 1895.
