Dies

Famous quotes containing the word dies:

“Sorrow has the fortunate peculiarity that it preys upon itself. It dies of starvation. Since it is essentially an interruption of habits, it can be replaced by new habits. Constituting, as it does, a void, it is soon filled up by a real “horror vacui.””
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

“But it dies hard, that world;
Or, being dead,
Putrescently is pearled....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“God: a disease we imagine we are cured of because no one dies of it nowadays.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
