Charles A. Bane - Death

Famous quotes containing the word death:

“Or I shall live your epitaph to make,
Or you survive when I in earth am rotten;
From hence your memory death cannot take,
Although in me each part will be forgotten.
Your name from hence immortal life shall have,
Though I, once gone, to all the world must die:”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“This death was his belief though death is a stone.
This man loved earth, not heaven, enough to die.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Liberal hopefulness
Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
