Throat Quotes

On vocal strain, allergy, and death's grip on the throat.

These throat quotes move from practical vocal concerns, like roles that strain the voice or caffeine triggering a sore throat, to a much darker metaphor about death gripping someone by the throat. Together they show the throat as both a physical vulnerability and a symbol. See our Caffeine quotes for more on that everyday trigger.
