Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Promise me solemnly, I said to her as she lay on what I believed to be her death bed, if you find in the world beyond the grave that you can communicate with methat there is some way in which you can make me aware of your continued existencepromise me solemnly that you will never, never avail yourself of it. She recovered and never, never forgave me.”

“She lived in storm and strife,
Her soul had such desire
For what proud death may bring
That it could not endure
The common good of life....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“We achieve active mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
