Famous quotes containing the word death:

—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The dignity to be sought in death is the appreciation by others of what one has been in life,... that proceeds from a life well lived and from the acceptance of one’s own death as a necessary process of nature.... It is also the recognition that the real event taking place at the end of our life is our death, not the attempts to prevent it.”
—Sherwin B. Nuland (b. 1930)
“Accordingly, death is a harbor of peace for the just, but is believed a shipwreck for the wicked.”
