Some famous poet said something about any man's death lessens me;that poet was wrong. The deaths of vicious murderers make the world a better place.

“Some famous poet said something about any man’s death lessens me”

John Donne.

By the way, he was a poet, but that quote is not from a poem, though people often make that mistake. Not that you’re one of them. I’m just saying, it’s from a prose “meditation.”
