Famous quotes containing the word hang:
“I was not at all shocked with this execution at the time. John died seemingly without much pain. He was effectually hanged, the rope having fixed upon his neck very firmly, and he was allowed to hang near three quarters of an hour; so that any attempt to recover him would have been in vain. I comforted myself in thinking that by giving up the scheme I had avoided much anxiety and uneasiness.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“Towards gnats and fleas we should show no pity. We would do right to hang petty thieves, petty calumniators, and slanderers.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
