Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    I’m the end of the line; absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.
    Arthur Miller (b. 1915)

    Cotton Mather died when I was a boy. The books
    He read, all day, all night and all the nights,
    Had got him nowhere. There was always the doubt,
    That made him preach the louder, long for a church
    In which his voice would roll its cadences,
    After the sermon, to quiet that mouse in the wall.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    This event advertises me that there is such a fact as death,—the possibility of a man’s dying. It seems as if no man had ever died in America before; for in order to die you must first have lived.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
