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.”

“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)
