Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “AIDS was ... an illness in stages, a very long flight of steps that led assuredly to death, but whose every step represented a unique apprenticeship. It was a disease that gave death time to live and its victims time to die, time to discover time, and in the end to discover life.”
    —Hervé Guibert (1955–1991)

    “To these, whom Death again did wed,
    This grave’s the second Marriage-bed.”
    —Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    “Is it sin
    To rush into the secret house of death
    Ere death dare come to us?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
