Dies

Famous quotes containing the word dies:

“The symbol of perpetual youth, the grass-blade, like a long green ribbon, streams from the sod into the summer, checked indeed by the frost, but anon pushing on again, lifting its spear of last year’s hay with the fresh life below. It grows as steadily as the rill oozes out of the ground.... So our human life but dies down to its root, and still puts forth its green blade to eternity.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When the sea dries up you can see its depths, but when a person dies you will still not know his mind.”
—Chinese proverb.

“Nobody dies of fatal truths these days: there are too many antidotes.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
