Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?”
    —Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

    “AIDS was ... an illness in stages, a very long flight of steps that led assuredly to death, but whose every step represented a unique apprenticeship. It was a disease that gave death time to live and its victims time to die, time to discover time, and in the end to discover life.”
    —Hervé Guibert (1955–1991)

    “Life folded Death; Death trellised Life; the grim god wived with youthful Life, and begat him curly-headed glories.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
