Famous quotes containing the word death:

    When Death to either shall come—
    I pray it be first to me.
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practise, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever- present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
    Muriel Spark (b. 1918)

    Taking a child to the toy store is the nearest thing to a death wish parents can have.
    Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
