Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

“It is true, these Roman Catholics, priests and all, impress me as a people who have fallen far behind the significance of their symbols.

Nevertheless, they are capable of reverence; but we Yankees are a people in whom this sentiment has nearly died out, and in this respect we cannot bethink ourselves even as oxen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The west was getting out of gold,
The breath of air had died of cold....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“I tell the tale that I heard told.
Mithridates, he died old.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
