Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “And yet the sun pardons our voices still,
    And berries in the hedge
    Through all the nights of rain have come to the full,
    And death seems like long hills, a range
    We ride each day towards, and never reach.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The death ... of a beautiful woman, is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “Taking a child to the toy store is the nearest thing to a death wish parents can have.”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
