Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Farewell deare flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
Fit, while ye liv’d, for smell or ornament,
And after death for cures.
I follow straight without complaints or grief,
Since if my sent be good, I care not, if
It be as short as yours.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

—David Boehm, and Louis Friedlander. Dr. Richard Vollin (Bela Lugosi)
“We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.”
—Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
