Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “And Death fell with me, like a deepening moan.
    And He, picking a manner of worm, which half had hid
    Its bruises in the earth, but crawled no further,
    Showed me its feet, the feet of many men,
    And the fresh-severed head of it, my head.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “Why wait for Death to mow?
    why wait for Death to sow
    us in the ground?”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
