Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “This morning men deliver wounds and death.
    They will deliver death and wounds tomorrow.
    And I doubt all. You. Or a violet.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “For in the word death
    There is nothing to grasp; nothing to catch or claim;
    Nothing to adapt the skill of the heart to, skill
    In surviving, for death it cannot survive,
    Only resign the irrecoverable keys.
    The wave falters and drowns. The coulter of joy
    Breaks. The harrow of death
    Depends. And there are thrown up waves.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
