Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “To die, to sleep—
    No more, and by a sleep to say we end
    The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
    That flesh is heir to—’tis a consummation
    Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.
    To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,
    For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
    When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
    Must give us pause.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Old age is a tyrant that forbids us upon pain of death all the pleasures of youth.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
