Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Death destroys a man: the idea of Death saves him.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He’s got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won’t be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That’s all there is to it.
    Clark Gable (1901–1960)

    Life is grown sweeter and lonelier,
    And death is no evil.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
