Famous quotes containing the words widowhood and/or death:
“The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife’s spirits.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
“Perhaps it is nothingness which is real and our dream which is non-existent, but then we feel think that these musical phrases, and the notions related to the dream, are nothing too. We will die, but our hostages are the divine captives who will follow our chance. And death with them is somewhat less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps less probable.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
