Famous quotes containing the words death and/or legacy:
“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)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
