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.”
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    “You lived too long, we have supped full with heroes,
    they waste their deaths on us.”
    —C.D. Andrews (1913–1992)

    “I sang of death but had I known
    The many deaths one must have died
    Before he came to meet his own!”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
