Dies

Famous quotes containing the word dies:

“When somebody dies we usually need reasons for consolation, not so much to alleviate our pain as to excuse ourselves for so readily feeling consoled.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“The belief that established science and scholarship—which have so relentlessly excluded women from their making—are “objective” and “value-free” and that feminist studies are “unscholarly,” “biased,” and “ideological” dies hard. Yet the fact is that all science, and all scholarship, and all art are ideological; there is no neutrality in culture!”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“Of a couple
who have grown together,
sharing equally
their pleasures and pains
and whose love
in time
blooms fully,
the one who dies lives on;
the other one is dead.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
