Famous quotes containing the word death:

    What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.
    Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)

    And death i think is no parenthesis
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

    Do thou but close our hands with holy words,
    Then love-devouring death do what he dare,
    It is enough I may but call her mine.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
