Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “I want Death to find me planting my cabbages, neither worrying about it nor the unfinished gardening.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “There is something antique, even, in his style of treating his subject, reminding us that Heroes and Demi-gods, Fates and Furies, still exist; the common man is nothing to him, but after death the hero is apotheosized and has a place in heaven, as in the religion of the Greeks.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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