Famous quotes containing the word death:

    What is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves.
    Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)

    For, surely, surely, where
    Your voice and graces are,
    Nothing of death can any feel or know.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    ...there is death in the pot!
    Bible: Hebrew, 2 Kings 4:40.
