Famous quotes containing the words grateful and/or dead:
“Know this: We serve the Holy One,
To whom our restless souls belong.
We have our breath through God alone,
To whom we raise our grateful song.”

“I’m beginning to believe that Killer Illiteracy ought to rank near heart disease and cancer as one of the leading causes of death among Americans. What you don’t know can indeed hurt you, and so those who can neither read nor write lead miserable lives, like Richard Wright’s character, Bigger Thomas, born dead with no past or future.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
