Murdered

Famous quotes containing the word murdered:

“Students of history are horror-struck at the massacres of old; but in the shambles, men are being murdered to-day.”

“Father, whom I murdered every night but one,
That one, when your death murdered me,”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)

“There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
The city to the soldier’s rage resigned;
Successless wars, and poverty behind;
Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
