Famous quotes containing the word dying:

—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“By dying I wanted to maintain my honor, and hide a flame so black from the daylight!”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
“Your love by ours we measure
Till we have lost our treasure,
But dying is a pleasure,
When living is a pain.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
