Dead

Famous quotes containing the word dead:

“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
Who’s sorry for a gnat ... or girl?”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog, while, for many people in the West, it is still a living lion.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)

“She’s gone for ever.
I know when one is dead, and when one lives;
She’s dead as earth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
