Famous quotes containing the words grateful and/or dead:

    Believing: it means believing in our own lies. And I can say that I am grateful that I got this lesson very early.
    Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    Some sepulcher, remote, alone,
    Against whose portal she hath thrown,
    In childhood, many an idle stone—
    Some tomb from out whose sounding door
    She ne’er shall force an echo more,
    Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
    It was the dead who groaned within.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
