Famous quotes containing the word dead:

    “Each dead child coiled, a white serpent,
    One at each little

    Pitcher of milk, now empty.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “This is the dead land
    This is cactus land
    Here the stone images
    Are raised, here they receive
    The supplication of a dead man’s hand
    Under the twinkle of a fading star.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
