Dies

Famous quotes containing the word dies:

    The belief that established science and scholarship—which have so relentlessly excluded women from their making—are “objective” and “value-free” and that feminist studies are “unscholarly,” “biased,” and “ideological” dies hard. Yet the fact is that all science, and all scholarship, and all art are ideological; there is no neutrality in culture!
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Of a couple
    who have grown together,
    sharing equally
    their pleasures and pains
    and whose love
    in time
    blooms fully,
    the one who dies lives on;
    the other one is dead.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    In a sense the world dies every time a writer dies, because, if he is any good, he has been a wet nurse to humanity during his entire existence and has held earth close around him, like the little obstetrical toad that goes about with a cluster of eggs attached to his legs.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
