Die Roll

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or roll:

    “Sweetest love, I do not go
    For weariness of thee,
    Nor in hope the world can show
    A fitter love for me;
    But since that I
    Must die at last, ‘tis best
    To use myself in jest
    Thus by feigned deaths to die.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
