Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “When Gabriel’s trumpet ends all life’s delay,
    Will crash the beams of firmamental woe:
    Not nature will sustain the even crime
    Of death, though death sustains all nature, so.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “I used to think of death ... like I suppose soldiers think of it: it was a possible thing that I could well avoid by my skill.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    “You know, if this is Venus, or some other strange planet, we’re liable to run into some high-domed characters with green blood in their veins who’ll blast at us with their atomic death rayguns, and there we’ll be with these—these poor old-fashioned shootin’ irons.”
    —Edward L. Bernds (b. 1911)
