Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “‘Tis no great valor to perish sword in hand, and bravado on lip; cased all in panoply complete. For even the alligator dies in his mail, and the swordfish never surrenders. To expire, mild-eyed, in one’s bed, transcends the death of Epaminondas.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “...there is death in the pot!”
    —Bible: Hebrew, 2 Kings 4:40.
