Famous quotes containing the word died:

“You’ve got a job to do. You’ve gotta sing on Smith.... You’ve gotta finish the job for Tolly! Or he died for nothing!”

Which wrinkles will devour;
Brightness falls from the air;
Queens have died young and fair;
Dust hath closed Helen’s eye.
I am sick, I must die.”
—Thomas Nashe (1567–1601)

“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)
