Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    Honour came to me,
    though I sought it not;
    I died at mid-day, sleeping;
    They did not see the reach of purple-wing
    that lifted me out of the little room.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    That for which Paul lived and died so gloriously; that for which Jesus gave himself to be crucified; the end that animated the thousand martyrs and heroes who have followed his steps, was to redeem us from a formal religion, and teach us to seek our well-being in the formation of the soul.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I have heard a good many pretend that they are going to die; or that they have died, for aught that I know. Nonsense! I’ll defy them to do it. They have n’t got life enough in them.... Only half a dozen or so have died since the world began.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
