Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “And Death fell with me, like a deepening moan.
    And He, picking a manner of worm, which half had hid
    Its bruises in the earth, but crawled no further,
    Showed me its feet, the feet of many men,
    And the fresh-severed head of it, my head.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “Faithfulness to the past can be a kind of death above ground. Writing of the past is a resurrection; the past then lives in your words and you are free.”
    —Jessamyn West (1902–1984)

    “We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.”
    —Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
