Famous quotes containing the words speaker and/or died:
“If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesnt prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (10643 B.C)
“They said, Here are the maps; we burned the cities.
It was not dyingno, 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 (19141965)
