Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “For the bright side of the painting I had a limited sympathy. My visions were of shipwreck and famine; of death or captivity among barbarian hordes; of a lifetime dragged out in sorrow and tears, upon some gray and desolate rock, in an ocean unapproachable and unknown.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “You don’t send a man to his death because you want a hero.”
    —Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    “Liberal hopefulness
    Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
    —William Empson (1906–1984)
