Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “So long as the law considers all these human beings, with beating hearts and living affections, only as so many things belonging to the master—so long as the failure, or misfortune, or imprudence, or death of the kindest owner, may cause them any day to exchange a life of kind protection and indulgence for one of hopeless misery and toil—so long it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best-regulated administration of slavery.”
    —Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    “Once one’s up against it, the precise manner of one’s death has obviously small importance.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter’s honor.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
