Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Or I shall live your epitaph to make,
    Or you survive when I in earth am rotten;
    From hence your memory death cannot take,
    Although in me each part will be forgotten.
    Your name from hence immortal life shall have,
    Though I, once gone, to all the world must die:”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Is it sin
    To rush into the secret house of death
    Ere death dare come to us?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Hunger shall make thy modest zone
    And cheat fond death of all but bone—”
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
