Famous quotes containing the word death:

    If I can, I shall keep my death from saying anything that my life has not already said.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    War. Fighting. Men ... every man in the whole realm is in the army.... Every man in uniform ... An economy entirely geared to war ... but there is not much war ... hardly any fighting ... yet every man a soldier from birth till death ... Men ... all men for fighting ... but no war, no wars to fight ... what is it, what does it mean?”
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

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