1789 in The United States - Deaths

Famous quotes containing the word deaths:

“Death is too much for men to bear, whereas women, who are practiced in bearing the deaths of men before their own and who are also practiced in bearing life, take death almost in stride. They go to meet death—that is, they attempt suicide—twice as often as men, though men are more “successful” because they use surer weapons, like guns.”
—Roger Rosenblatt (b. 1940)

“You lived too long, we have supped full with heroes,
they waste their deaths on us.”
—C.D. Andrews (1913–1992)

“On almost the incendiary eve
Of deaths and entrances ...”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
