Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or mother:
“The dead have been awakened—shall I sleep?
The world’s at war with tyrants—shall I crouch?
The harvest’s ripe—and shall I pause to reap?
I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch;
Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear,
Its echo in my heart.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“I never saw a fatter man; he’d have given my mother a stone or two and not felt the loss. Round as the “o” in rotund.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
