Dying Patient

Famous quotes containing the words dying and/or patient:

“I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

“For who would bare the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
