Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    These were the sounds that issued from the wigwams of this country before Columbus was born; they have not yet died away; and, with remarkably few exceptions, the language of their forefathers is still copious enough for them. I felt that I stood, or rather lay, as near to the primitive man of America, that night, as any of its discoverers ever did.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The very word “Christianity” is a misunderstanding—there was really only one Christian, and he died on the cross. The “evangel” died on the cross.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Here lies a man who was killed by lightning;
    He died when his prospects seemed to be brightening.
    He might have cut a flash in this world of trouble,
    But the flash cut him, and he lies in the stubble.
    Anonymous. From Booth, Epigrams Ancient and Modern (1863)
