Famous quotes containing the word deaths:
“This is the 184th Demonstration.

What we do is not beautiful
hurts no one makes no one desperate
we do not break the panes of safety glass
stretching between people on the street
and the deaths they hire.”

The many deaths one must have died
Before he came to meet his own!”

Of deaths and entrances ...”
