Speaker Died

Famous quotes containing the words speaker and/or died:

    The most attractive sentences are, perhaps, not the wisest, but the surest and roundest. They are spoken firmly and conclusively, as if the speaker had a right to know what he says, and if not wise, they have at least been well learned.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    They said, “Here are the maps”; we burned the cities.
    It was not dying—no, not ever dying;
    But the night I died I dreamed that I was dead,
    And the cities said to me: “Why are you dying?
    We are satisfied, if you are; but why did I die?”
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
