Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “For the bright side of the painting I had a limited sympathy. My visions were of shipwreck and famine; of death or captivity among barbarian hordes; of a lifetime dragged out in sorrow and tears, upon some gray and desolate rock, in an ocean unapproachable and unknown.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
    And Death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die!”
    —John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    “It is not death therefore that is burdensome, but the fear of death.”
    —Ambrose (c. 333–397)
