Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

“I was not at all shocked with this execution at the time. John died seemingly without much pain. He was effectually hanged, the rope having fixed upon his neck very firmly, and he was allowed to hang near three quarters of an hour; so that any attempt to recover him would have been in vain. I comforted myself in thinking that by giving up the scheme I had avoided much anxiety and uneasiness.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)

“I say that Roger Casement
Did what he had to do,
He died upon the gallows
But that is nothing new.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Now, look Dutchy, Joe died flying, didn’t he? That was his job. He just wasn’t good enough. That’s why he got it.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
