Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it.”
    —Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (b. 1926)

    “In the deeper layers of the modern consciousness ... every attempt to succeed is an act of aggression, leaving one alone and guilty and defenseless among enemies: one is punished for success. This is our intolerable dilemma: that failure is a kind of death and success is evil and dangerous, is—ultimately—impossible.”
    —Robert Warshow (1917–1955)

    “I can only see death and more death, till we are black and swollen with death.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
