Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    “Cotton Mather died when I was a boy. The books
    He read, all day, all night and all the nights,
    Had got him nowhere. There was always the doubt,
    That made him preach the louder, long for a church
    In which his voice would roll its cadences,
    After the sermon, to quiet that mouse in the wall.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
    With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
    As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free;”
    —Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910)

    “We died like aunts of pets or foreigners.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
