Dying

Famous quotes containing the word dying:

    The military mind is indeed a menace. Old-fashioned futurity that sees only men fighting and dying in smoke and fire; hears nothing more civilized than a cannonade; scents nothing but the stink of battle-wounds and blood.
    Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    A man’s dying is more the survivors’ affair than his own.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    He is not affected by the reality of distress touching his heart, but by the showy resemblance of it striking his imagination. He pities the plumage, but forgets the dying bird.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
