Famous quotes containing the words death and/or aftermath:
“We often see malefactors, when they are led to execution, put on resolution and a contempt of death which, in truth, is nothing else but fearing to look it in the face—so that this pretended bravery may very truly be said to do the same good office to their mind that the blindfold does to their eyes.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The aftermath of joy is not usually more joy.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
