Famous quotes containing the words death, posthumous and/or honour:

    hung up like a pig on exhibit,
    the delicate wrists,
    the beard drooling blood and vinegar;
    hooked to your own weight,
    jolting toward death under your nameplate.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Fashion, though in a strange way, represents all manly virtue. It is virtue gone to seed: it is a kind of posthumous honor. It does not often caress the great, but the children of the great: it is a hall of the Past.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Alack-o-day, replied the corporal ... your honour knows I have neither wife or child—I can have no sorrows in this world.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
