Famous quotes containing the word death:

    I mourn the safe and motherly old middle-class queen, who held the nation warm under the fold of her big, hideous Scotch-plaid shawl and whose duration had been so extraordinarily convenient and beneficent. I felt her death much more than I should have expected; she was a sustaining symbol—and the wild waters are upon us now.
    Henry James (1843–1916)

    Is it sin
    To rush into the secret house of death
    Ere death dare come to us?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And death i think is no parenthesis
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
