Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “And death i think is no parenthesis”
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

    “My glass shall not persuade me I am old
    So long as youth and thou are of one date,
    But when in thee time’s furrows I behold,
    Then look I death my days should expiate.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “If it be aught toward the general good,
    Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
    And I will look on both indifferently;
    For let the gods so speed me as I love
    The name of honor more than I fear death.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
