Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Surrealism is merely the reflection of the death process. It is one of the manifestations of a life becoming extinct, a virus which quickens the inevitable end.
    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)

    There’s nothing wrong in suffering, if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn’t abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)
