Dies

Famous quotes containing the word dies:

    From cradle to grave this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be, the task of education, as it is the moral of religion, philosophy, science, art, politics and economy; but a boy’s will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    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)

    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.)
