Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Men are fools that wish to die!
    Is ‘t not fine to dance and sing
    When the bells of death do ring?
    Unknown. Hey Nonny No! (L. 2–4)

    The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)

    The raven is my talisman.... Death is my talisman, Mr. Chapman. The one indestructible force. The one certain thing in an uncertain universe. Death.
    David Boehm, and Louis Friedlander. Dr. Richard Vollin (Bela Lugosi)
