Dies

Famous quotes containing the word dies:

    Nobody dies of fatal truths these days: there are too many antidotes.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    When the sea dries up you can see its depths, but when a person dies you will still not know his mind.
    Chinese proverb.

    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)
