Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
    By atoms moved.
    Could you believe that this the body was
    Of one that loved?
    And in his mistress’ flame playing like a fly,

    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    You mustn’t be afraid of death. When this ship sailed, death sailed on her.

    And he goes from do’ to do’ ...
