Famous quotes containing the word death:

    For, surely, surely, where
    Your voice and graces are,
    Nothing of death can any feel or know.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    Ai! ai! we do worse! We are in a fix! And you’re out, Death let
    you out, Death had the Mercy, you’re done with your century, done with God, done with the path thru it—
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
