Famous quotes containing the words life and/or death:

    “There a captive sat in chains
    Crooning ditties treasured well
    From his Afric’s torrid plains.
    Sole estate his sire bequeathed,—
    Hapless sire to hapless son,—
    Was the wailing song he breathed,
    And his chain when life was done.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The death clock is ticking slowly in our breast, and each drop of blood measures its time, and our life is a lingering fever.”
    —Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
