Famous quotes containing the word death:

    She lived in storm and strife,
    Her soul had such desire
    For what proud death may bring
    That it could not endure
    The common good of life....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is no sorrow more grievous than the death of one’s spirit.
    —Chinese proverb.

    Zhaungzi.

    Time is here and you’ll go his way.
    Your lung is waiting in the death market.
    Your face beside me will grow indifferent.
    Darling, you will yield up your belly and be
    cored like an apple.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
