Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “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)

    “Bruno Antony: Tell me, Judge, after you’ve sentenced a man to the chair, isn’t it difficult to go out and eat your dinner after that?
    Judge Dolan: When a murderer is caught he must be tried, when he is convicted he must be sentenced, when he is sentenced to death he must be executed.
    Bruno Antony: Quite impersonal, isn’t it?
    Judge Dolan: So it is. Besides, it doesn’t happen every day.
    Bruno Antony: So, few murderers are caught?”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “Lucas: You’re the Democratic nominee for Senator.
    John McKay: You make that sound like a death sentence.”
    —Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter. Lucas (Peter Boyle)
