Famous quotes containing the word death:

    The day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    Nor has his death the world deceiv’d
    Less than his wondrous life surpriz’d;
    For if he like a madman liv’d
    At least he like a wise one dy’d.
    Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    Young lover to old lover: I do not feel death in your embrace, but the adoration of the patriarchs.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
