Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “An “unemployed” existence is a worse negation of life than death itself.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    “I shall die as my fathers died, and sleep as they sleep; even so.
    For the glass of the years is brittle wherein we gaze for a span;
    A little soul for a little bears up this corpse which is man.
    So long I endure, no longer; and laugh not again, neither weep.
    For there is no God found stronger than death; and death is a sleep.”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
