Famous quotes containing the word deaths:

    I sang of death but had I known

    Before he came to meet his own!

    hurts no one makes no one desperate
    we do not break the panes of safety glass
    stretching between people on the street
    and the deaths they hire.

    they waste their deaths on us.
