Sudden Death Time

Famous quotes containing the words sudden, death and/or time:

    “Coming about its own business
    Till, with a sudden sharp hot stink of fox
    It enters the dark hole of the head.
    The window is starless still; the clock ticks,
    The page is printed.”
    —Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

    “I knew the poor,
    I knew the hideous death they die,
    when famine lays its bleak hand on the door;
    I knew the rich,
    sated with merriment,
    who yet are sad.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “A lunatic may be “soothed,”... for a time, but in the end, he is very apt to become obstreperous. His cunning, too, is proverbial, and great.... When a madman appears thoroughly sane, indeed, it is high time to put him in a straight jacket.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
