Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Or if no thing but death will serve thy turn,
Still thirsting for subversion of my state,
Do what thou canst, raze, massacre, and burn,
Let the world see the utmost of thy hate;”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Liberal hopefulness
Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
