Famous quotes containing the word killed:
“Here lies a man who was killed by lightning;

But the flash cut him, and he lies in the stubble.”

“But, on more accounts than one, I had had enough of moose-hunting. I had not come to the woods for this purpose, nor had I foreseen it, though I had been willing to learn how the Indian manvred; but one moose killed was as good, if not as bad, as a dozen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
