Yip Harburg - Death

Famous quotes containing the word death:

“for it is not so much to know the self
as to know it as it is known
by galaxy and cedar cone,
as if birth had never found it

and death could never end it:”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.”

I cannot ease the burden of your fears,
Or make quick-coming death a little thing,
Or bring again the pleasure of past years,”
