Dead Quotes (page 74)

William Shakespeare quote: "They lie deadly that tell you have good faces."
They lie deadly that tell you have good faces. William Shakespeare
The wicked fear the good, because the good are a constant reproach to their consciences. The ungodly like religion in the same way that they like lions, either dead or behind bars; they fear religion when it breaks loose and begins to challenge their consciences. Fulton J. Sheen
Emily Dickinson quote: "Anger as soon as fed is dead- 'Tis starving makes it fat."
Anger as soon as fed is dead- 'Tis starving makes it fat. Emily Dickinson
Mitch Albom quote: "The dead sit at our tables long after they have gone."
The dead sit at our tables long after they have gone. Mitch Albom
Gentle lady, do not sing Sad songs about the end of love; Lay aside sadness and sing How love that passes is enough. Sing about the long deep sleep Of lovers that are dead, and how. In the grave all love shall sleep: Love is aweary now. James Joyce
As the sun went down, I saw a solitary boatman disporting on the smooth lake. The falling dews seemed to strain and purify the air, and I was soothed with an infinite stillness. I got the world, as it were, by the nape of the neck, and held it under in the tide of its own events, till it was drowned, and then I let it go down stream like a dead dog. Vast hollow chambers of silence stretched away on every side, and my being expanded in proportion, and filled them. Then first could I appreciate... Henry David Thoreau
But when from a long-distant past nothing subsists, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered, taste and smell alone, more fragile but more enduring, more unsubstantial, more persistent, more faithful, remain poised a long time, like souls, remembering, waiting, hoping, amid the ruins of all the rest; and bear unflinchingly, in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast structure of recollection. Marcel Proust
Yet some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but had by the will of our Lord Jesu into another place; and men say that he shall come again, and he shall win the holy cross. Thomas Malory
Le Corbusier quote: "Our world, like a charnel-house, is strewn with the detritus..."
Our world, like a charnel-house, is strewn with the detritus of dead epochs. Le Corbusier
He saw it for the first time: on the day he died he would be wearing unmatching socks, there would be unanswered e-mails, and in the hovel he called home there would still be shirts missing cuff buttons, a malfunctioning light in the hall, and unpaid bills, uncleared attics, dead flies, friends waiting for a reply and lovers he had not owned up to. Ian Mcewan
Patti Smith quote: "Why can't I write something that would awake the dead? That..."
Why can't I write something that would awake the dead? That pursuit is what burns most deeply. Patti Smith
We have all forgotten what we really are. All that we call common sense and rationality and practicality and positivism only means that for certain dead levels of our life we forget that we have forgotten. All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful instant we remember that we forget. Gilbert K. Chesterton
You're alive, Bod. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you can change the world, the world will change. Potential. Once you're dead, it's gone. Over. You've made what you've made, dreamed your dream, written your name. You may be buried here, you may even walk. But that potential is finished. Neil Gaiman
Sylvia Plath quote: "Not easy to state the change you made. If I'm alive now, I was..."
Not easy to state the change you made. If I'm alive now, I was dead, Though, like a stone, unbothered by it. Sylvia Plath
You've been brought up like a gentleman and a Christian, and I should be false to the trust laid upon me by your dead father and mother if I allowed you to expose yourself to such temptation.'Well, I know I'm not a Christian and I'm beginning to doubt whether I'm a gentleman,' said Philip. W. Somerset Maugham
