Famous quotes containing the word death:

    I knew the poor,
    I knew the hideous death they die,
    when famine lays its bleak hand on the door;
    I knew the rich,
    sated with merriment,
    who yet are sad.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    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)

    Disease generally begins that equality which death completes.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
