Famous quotes containing the word death:
“The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. Hes got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there wont be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. Thats all there is to it.”
—Clark Gable (19011960)
“For the wretched one night is like a thousand; for someone faring well death is just one more night.”
—Sophocles (497406/5 B.C.)
“So much of motion, is so much of life, and so much of joyand ... to stand still, or get on but slowly, is death and the devil.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
