Die Quotes
-
Since Pharaoh’s bits were pushed into the jaws of kings, these dyings-patient or impatient, but dyings-have happened, by the hundreds of millions; they were all wasted.

For the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief.

But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul.
Edgar Allan Poe
