Killed

Famous quotes containing the word killed:

    One sometimes says: He killed himself because he was bored with life. One ought rather to say: He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    I have killed all the good things,
    but they are too stubborn for me.
    They hang on.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
    We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
    Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
    And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
    Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
    The first cat that was ever killed by Care.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
