People Died

Famous quotes containing the words people and/or died:

    It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
    Lillian Hellman (1905–1984)

    Cotton Mather died when I was a boy. The books
    He read, all day, all night and all the nights,
    Had got him nowhere. There was always the doubt,
    That made him preach the louder, long for a church
    In which his voice would roll its cadences,
    After the sermon, to quiet that mouse in the wall.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
