Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Not one death but many,
    not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is
    the law
    Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    “... War on the destiny of man!
    Doom on the sun!”
    Before death takes you, O take back this.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish.
    Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
