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)
“When I died last, and, dear, I die
As often as from thee I go
Though it be but an hour ago,
And lovers hours be full eternity.”
—John Donne (c. 15721631)
