Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    I say that Roger Casement
    Did what he had to do,
    He died upon the gallows
    But that is nothing new.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is a distinction to be drawn between true collectors and accumulators. Collectors are discriminating; accumulators act at random. The Collyer brothers, who died among the tons of newspapers and trash with which they filled every cubic foot of their house so that they could scarcely move, were a classic example of accumulators, but there are many of us whose houses are filled with all manner of things that we “can’t bear to throw away.”
    Russell Lynes (1910–1991)

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