Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Why wait for Death to mow?
why wait for Death to sow
us in the ground?”

“Im afraid of needles.
Im tired of rubber sheets and tubes.
Im tired of faces that I dont know
and now I think that death is starting.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“We achieve active mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
