Oscar-winning film star Ernest Borgnine has died in a Los Angeles hospital at the age of 95. The actor, whose bulldog appearance made him a natural for tough-guy roles in films like The Wild Bunch but won an Oscar for playing a sensitive loner in Marty, died on Sunday, his long-time publicist said. He died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, where he had gone for a medical check-up on Tuesday, spokesman Harry Flynn said. Born on January 24, 1917 in Hamden, Connecticut, Borgnine was primarily known for his supporting roles in comedies such as the popular 1960s television series McHale's Navy and dramas like the World War II film The Dirty Dozen.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
