Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Tear out the close vermiculate crease
    Where death crawled angrily at bay.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “We often see malefactors, when they are led to execution, put on resolution and a contempt of death which, in truth, is nothing else but fearing to look it in the face—so that this pretended bravery may very truly be said to do the same good office to their mind that the blindfold does to their eyes.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

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