Black Death/overview

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or death:

    What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    Some say that gleams of a remoter world
    Visit the soul in sleep,—that death is slumber,
    And that its shapes the busy thoughts outnumber
    Of those who wake and live.—
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
