Famous quotes containing the word death:

    When death comes too near, comedy and tragedy fall silent.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Death destroys a man: the idea of Death saves him.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows for the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
