Died Aged

Famous quotes containing the words died and/or aged:

“I was not at all shocked with this execution at the time. John died seemingly without much pain. He was effectually hanged, the rope having fixed upon his neck very firmly, and he was allowed to hang near three quarters of an hour; so that any attempt to recover him would have been in vain. I comforted myself in thinking that by giving up the scheme I had avoided much anxiety and uneasiness.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)

“Just like those who are incurably ill, the aged know everything about their dying except exactly when.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
