Famous quotes containing the word deaths:

    This is the 184th Demonstration.
    ...

    we do not break the panes of safety glass
    stretching between people on the street

    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    As deaths have accumulated I have begun to think of life and death as a set of balance scales. When one is young, the scale is heavily tipped toward the living.

    Alison Hawthorne Deming (b. 1946)

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