Famous quotes containing the words diary and/or dead:
“I do not keep a diary. Never have. To write a diary every day is like returning to one’s own vomit.”
—J. Enoch Powell (b. 1912)
“For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
